Here’s something surprising I’m finding in my 2009 inquiries – a renewed interest in procurement strategy consulting services. It comes as a bit of surprise to me because of the tight economic conditions. Expensive consultants are among the first things that businesses slash from their budget, right?
What is driving this round of interest appears to the later adopters of technology – those companies that have yet to invest in e-sourcing, e-procurement, category management or spend analysis – either because they are very conservative and just haven’t taken the leap, or because they are smaller organizations and haven’t been sure what applies to them.
