SIG, the premier membership organization for sourcing, procurement and outsourcing executives, today announces a one-day Regional Roundtable to be held in Hartford, CT. The Regional Roundtable is a short one-day event that will take place from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm at Aetna. This buy-side event provides education and local networking for professionals from Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies. A combination of practitioner presentations, facilitated roundtables and panel discussions, a SIG Regional Roundtable enables delegates to converse in a collegial, non-commercial environment.

SIG, the premier membership organization for sourcing, procurement and outsourcing executives, today announces that for the second year in a row, it has been named to Inc. magazine’s Inc. 500/5000 list, an annual list of the fastest-growing privately-held companies in the U.S.

This past Friday I drove home to Atlanta after spending a few days at SIG’s Summit in Nashville, TN – my second SIG summit. Read more about the organization here: SIG (Sourcing Interests Group).  If you’ve never been to a SIG activity – what is it like? How is it different from other procurement and sourcing focused events available? With 350 attending, it was a good size, and a well-run event. The whole thing was structured into general activities that all attended, as well as tracks broken into separate interest areas – fairly typical for events beyond a certain size.

HfS Research and the Sourcing Interests Group (SIG) today launched the Procurement Value IndexTM, a semi-annual research-based benchmarking study designed to gauge the ongoing performance and capabilities of procurement functions worldwide to meet their desired business outcomes and measure the value being provided by procurement technology solutions and outsourcing services.
