Sourcing Professionals in High Demand!

I am happy to report that this is the most dynamic market for career opportunities for Sourcing & Procurement professionals!  It is so exciting and informative to have discussions with you all and hear about the success stories and the elevation of the respect and recognition of being a value-add to your companies.  Of course, many organizations are still struggling to get ALL of your internal stakeholders and their groups to ask for your help and/or comply to opportunities/procedures/policies, but from what I hear, most are on the right path and making headway.  And most believe that sourcing organizations are going to continue to rise to the top and become revered as SME's.  Quite a difference from 10-15 years ago.

Please - share your stories!  I'm sure others would like to hear them - good and bad!
