Tongaat to pursue Deloitte after massive financial scandal – News24

Building up an organizational set-up that would make your consulting souring process more efficient is like laying the foundation of a house. Consulting sourcing is not like purchasing commodities; it calls for deep expertise, experience and extensive research.

Naturally, there cannot be any one-size-fits-all formula for achieving sourcing competency. Besides taking a step-by-step approach, you'll have to choose the right way to reach your goal, depending on the size and type of your organization and the range of your consulting spends.

On this week's Smart Consulting Sourcing Podcast, our expert Helene Laffitte discusses five ways to build an organizational set-up for the ease of sourcing the right consultants! It does not matter how big your organization is, this podcast will help you approach this goal more strategically and confidently.
