In the latest Supply Now podcast, strategic sourcing and outsourcing expert Sarah Pfaff shares the do’s and don’ts of outsourcing. A founding partner at outsourcing consulting boutique Ariante – and recent contributor to Supply Excellence – the straight-shooting Pfaff gives tough advice on how to build a real business case for outsourcing and how to tame the emotional resistance to offshoring. Her tips are a must-hear for anyone in the throes of an outsourcing decision.

In this sixth monthly episode, my Supply Now co-host Spend Matters blogmaster Jason Busch and I square off on the subject of quality in China. We also warn of the dangers of looming U.S.-China trade policy battle.
