The Festival of Sourcing has ended, some insights to share how it was.
Sourcing industry professionals and senior executives came together at Ravens Ait, London, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Global Sourcing Association. We looked back at how far the industry has come, and more importantly, we looked forward to the future of strategic sourcing.
