The purpose of the interview was to get a snapshot of the organization's current perspectives on sourcing and procurement of consulting services.

  • common errors made by sourcing professionals,
  • procurement challenges,
  • reigning-in maverick spend,

  • procurement group structure, and
  • a profile of one of the world's largest internal consulting organizations
