CAPS News - September 2019
If you're not already on our newsletter mailing list, sign up now!
Take advantage of CAPS benchmarking and research. Here are two great ways: events for member companies and the CAPS Library (for everyone!).
We have a host of exciting events coming up: our flagship roundtables for CPOs (February 2020) and their teams (next month), and our annual Research Pipeline meeting. For previous attendees, please note: we bumped the meeting up a few months so we can pack 2020 with valuable new research, driven by CAPS member companies.
CAPS knows you're busy and we value your time, so you've probably noticed we're offering more short-form, easily-digestible content (emails, reports) and multimedia (webinars, videos). If you didn't attend our last few webinars, they're up in the library now, and we'll be offering more; and if you haven't already, create your new CAPS Library account now.
Quick fact: Finding New Suppliers
In a recently completed survey, CAPS asked companies to select their top three preferred sources to find new suppliers. Here’s what they said:
| 94% – Procurement/sourcing team 46% – Internal business partner 42% – Open bid during RFx process 24% – External customers/direct source 2% – Crowdsourcing |
 |
Surveys are for both members and non-members. We love your data, and in exchange, everyone who completes a survey receives a copy of its corresponding metric report. CAPS members get extra love: breakout reports and custom survey opportunities. Sign up to participate.
