Strategic sourcing is an organizational procurement and supply man-agement process used to locate, develop, qualify, and employ suppliers that add maximum value to the buyer’s products or services.
The major objective of strategic sourcing is to engage suppliers that align with the strategic business and operational goals of the organization.
We apply the term “strategic” to recognize that many sourcing projects require a long-term plan of supply chain action. It’s meeting the needs of this relatively long time horizon that makes sourcing “strategic.”
When the word “global” is added to the title, it means that suppliers may
be selected beyond the organization’s national borders.

Value manifests itself in numerous ways, from bottom-line savings and support of category management imperatives, to identifying alternative sources of supply for key stakeholder groups within the business, to providing targeted market information. The mechanism for extracting this value is a combination of client process optimization, collaboration and Ho-Cun efficient and effective execution. We consider proactive sourcing a direct output of category management initiatives, market analysis and pipeline activities. In addition, sourcing is a direct input to contracting and supplier management, and ultimately falls within category management (the procurement cycle).
Sourcing departments must conduct due diligence and develop plans to proactively pursue productive opportunities for the business. But at the same time, they must be able to effectively react to the needs of the business. Through the application of our flexible and market-leading approach, Ho-Cun enables our clients to address both the challenges efficiently.
