The Mpower Group and IACCM Announces a Revised and Updated Sourcing...

The Mpower Group (TMG http://www.thempowergroup.com) and IACCM (The International Association of Contract & Commercial Managers http://www.iaccm.com) announce the availability of TMG's8217;s updated Sourcing Maturity Model Diagnostic reflecting advancements made in sourcing/supply chain.



The relentless focus on cost savings and optimization has made strategic sourcing/supply chain an essential tool for most companies and its impacts have extended far beyond the early vision of what could be achieved. For leaders in Sourcing/Supply Chain, it has become increasingly important to be able to monitor and benchmark progress. The Mpower Group and IACCM have joined once again in offering a best practice diagnostic that will evaluate sourcing capabilities and performance against the latest maturity model that reflects recent advances in the discipline. This is a follow on to the ground breaking research conducted jointly between TMG and IACCM 18 months ago that led to the original Sourcing Maturity Model.



How do sourcing/supply chain organizations evolve their practices to 's8220;raise the bar's8221; on their performance to new heights The Diagnostic identifies potential opportunities using TMG'ss Sourcing Maturity Model's8482; 's8211; a framework of sourcing/supply chain performance analysis that accounts for the significant progress made in the discipline towards value creation. It explores sourcing/supply chain performance across six key areas: Strategic Portfolio Management, Third Party Risk Management, Globalization of the Supply Chain, Performance Metrics for Sourcing, Supply Chain Management and People.



The Diagnostic is delivered through a short questionnaire that explores 30 key performance traits covering each of the six sourcing/supply chain areas. Diagnostic participants will receive a confidential report from TMG and IACCM assessing potential opportunities that exist within the organization to advance their sourcing/supply chain capabilities. The diagnostic is useful for organizations looking for a high-level assessment. TMG also delivers a more detailed diagnostic through a tailored survey instrument that addresses over 180 different performance factors and considers the specific needs and characteristics of the participant's8217;s industry.



TMG and IACCM will issue a report aggregating the Diagnostic responses to provide an overview of the current state of sourcing/supply chain practices based on the Sourcing Maturity Model's8482; framework. This report will be made available to diagnostic participants at no charge.
