In the research we completed earlier this year regarding the impact of the recession on the procurement profession, some key issues were raised around supply chain security and how to deal with it. We concluded that “Around 60% (of responses) advocate the use of more stable suppliers and/or investing in strategic suppliers.”

We also noted in our recent blog that there has been a noticeable increase in the number of specialist Vendor Management roles that we have been asked to recruit for in the recent past, particularly this year.

So in this survey we look at how SRM or VM has risen in importance as businesses increasingly seek value from their suppliers, and we examine how expertise and success in this area enhances procurement and supply chain professionals’ career prospects’

So please do find 5-10 mins to contribute, and we particularly value your input in the “other comments” section. The survey is available here.
