Perfect timing for The Hackett Group’s survey on inflation and its impact on procurement and supply chains. This week the topic of inflation is sure to be front and center on the businesss section of any newspaper as US Fed Chairman Bernanke goes before Congress for his semiannual report. With inflation (or at least the fear of it) increasing, it’s only a matter of time before procurement will be asked how they plan to cope with inflationary pressures.

With that in mind, The Hackett Group would like your input on the survey and will provide a report of key findings to participants. The survey only runs through this Friday, March 4th. So, please take a few minutes to share your perspective.
