The Power of Partnerships A Complimentary Conference for Members of Supply Chain Canada and Core.

2021 Sourcing of Services Symposium

COVID-19 has highlighted how dependent firms are on their third-party partners. In the initial stages of the pandemic, many firms were contacting their providers asking them to take on tasks outside of their normal agreements and contracts—this highlighted the importance of our relationship with third-party providers.

In our 2021 Sourcing of Services Symposium, we will be discussing The Power of Partnerships, with an eye to the future, and the trends we see emerging in the coming years.

Supply Chain Canada’s delighted to be hosting our Outsourcing Symposium this June 2 and 3rd. Our recent merger with Core has expanded Supply Chain’s offering to include issues and insight in the sourcing of services. – We have heard from Supply Chain members that the pandemic has accelerated investments in digital transformation, and as a result we’re seeing the impacts appear in outsourced services. This drive to transform will lead to a greater number of services delivered through AI platforms, and as a result, there will be a fundamental shift in the cost to deliver outsourced services. Our upcoming Outsourcing Symposium, we will discuss the pressing issues we are seeing in the sourcing of services from leading firms in the Canadian Marketplace.
