Hopefully after reading yesterday’s post which pointed out that only 49% of organizations have bothered to implement a supplier performance measurement and risk management program, you’ll want to do something about it. If you do, you might want to take advantage of Procuri’s [acquired by Ariba, acquired by SAP] well-timed webinar on Jumpstarting a Supplier Performance Management Program. Moderated by Tim Minahan, editor of Supply Excellence [WayBackMachine], the featured speakers include Chris Herbtst, Supply Chain Program Manager of Constellation Brands, and Dawn Tiura, Partner at Denali Consulting.

According to the messaging, this webinar will cover:

• How to organize for effective supplier performance management
• The right supplier performance metrics for cross-company measurement
• How to assess and select the right solutions to help your company achieve its supplier performance measurement and improvement goals
• Sure-fire approaches to speed performance management program system deployment and adoption

All very important topics.
