The Global Sourcing Council announces its June Conference:
Risk Management in Global Sourcing – New York, June 18, 2008
Registration: www.gscouncil.org
The 2008 Risk Management in Global Sourcing conference will review the increasingly hostile regulatory and risk conditions affecting global sourcing and identify mission-critical strategies for assessment and mitigation of offshoring, outsourcing and global development. Enterprise customers and service providers alike face new concerns about the changing economic, social and political climate that could increasingly balkanize trade in global services and defeat the economies of scale, benefits of specialization and value arbitrage in today’s market.
Specifically, the conference will give you an opportunity to:
- Learn how the world economic slowdown is establishing new risks in global service industries and global enterprises engaged in offshore outsourcing and special-purpose administrative services subsidiaries.
- Hear recommendations on non-traditional measures of risk and new risk-mitigation tools and techniques to mitigate such risks.
- Determine whether there is an adequate business case for measuring the impact of your strategic sourcing program upon global business development and human capital development on both sides of the sourcing relationship.
- Understand the best practices of global services from the standpoint of business continuity, corporate preparedness, human capital management, business process management and political risk management.
- Find solutions to your individual risk management challenges.
- Develop tools, strategies and tactics to help implement a corporate program for socially-aware risk mitigation in global services.
Who should attend? This conference is addressed to senior business executives and those responsible for development and implementation of global sourcing strategies. This includes:
- Senior Vice President, Administration
- Strategic Purchasing and Procurement
- External Alliance Partner Managers
