For the past month, I have been reporting on the Top 5 Supply Strategies enterprises have prioritized for the next two years. The findings were the result of a September 2006 survey of the top challenges and initiatives of 300 supply management and business executives from around the globe. Color commentary was added based on interviews I conducted with survey participants.

Thanks to overwhelming response, we are taking the Top 5 Supply Strategies live in the form of a five-part Web seminar series, featuring presentations from industry experts and experienced supply management executives like you.

Attendees will hear first hand about practical, real-world approaches for supply management improvements. You’ll also have the opportunity to question panelists and to voice your own opinions in interactive polls that will shape future research and forums.

The series, sponsored by Procuri, kicks off on December 6th at 11:30 a.m. Eastern with a focus on Supply Strategy #1: Jumpstarting Spend Analysis Success. Featured speakers will include:

• Jason Josko, Manager of Performance Improvement and Spend Diagnostic Services, PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
• Greg Shifflett, Director of Spend Management at Alliant Tech Systems

I will have the honor of moderating this webinar and the entire Top 5 Supply Strategies Series. Other episodes in the series include:
