Earlier this year, I wrote a series of posts discussing the creation of a Category Sourcing Scorecard.

Today, I am pleased to announce that Ardent Partners’ Category Sourcing Scorecard is now available for download by clicking here (registration required).

As a reminder, the Category Sourcing Scorecard is a tool that can be used to help sourcing teams prioritize their different categories of spend into a sourcing pipeline. The Scorecard helps sourcing teams evaluate different categories across a standard set of sourcing considerations or factors; it also provides a framework so those factors may be quantified and compared. The end result is a sourcing “score” for each category that can then be used to rank order categories for sourcing and allocate resources.

If you are a sourcing professional, we believe this will be an interesting tool to download. The Scorecard is sponsored by BravoSolution. I’ll be back next time to provide some instructions on how sourcing pros can use the file (Excel format).
