Overview This webcast offers a roadmap of what it means to practice strategic supply management.

Based on a holistic approach that focuses on breadth rather than depth, the presenter addresses the different elements that comprise strategic supply management, and come together to create a hard-to-duplicate source of competitive advantage.
