TOPIC:  Corporate Travel Strategic Sourcing

Description:

A trend to move the corporate travel department under the procurement function has been increasing.  Given this, reporting to procurement has been challenging for both corporate travel managers and procurement people because procurement people do not understand the travel industry and travel managers do not understand the strategic sourcing process.   Kathy Briski, a procurement and corporate travel executive will take you thru the 7 step methodology of the strategic sourcing process from a corporate travel perceptive.   This discussion will be participative and informative so we hope you can join us.
