Ep 18: A Passion for Category Management feat. Sabrina Hueren
RELEASED 8. Oktober 2024
Category management is as fundamental part of procurement as strategic sourcing, supplier management, and negotiation. At the same time, there is a chasm between optimism about the potential of category management and examples of where it has been carried out successfully.
In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Sabrina Hueren. Sabrina is a manager and strategy consultant for Sourcing Champions, a boutique procurement consulting firm based in Amsterdam. Not only does Sabrina love procurement, but she also has a passion for category management!
In this episode, Sabrina speaks about why category management is more relevant for procurement today than ever before:
- The ‘soft’ skills that are required to successfully build and execute against a category strategy, whether procurement is made up of generalists or category experts
- How to make sure your category strategy delivers results rather than gathering dust on a shelf or in a drawer
- Why category management is one of the best ways for procurement to demonstrate their potential for overall business impact far beyond savings
