Sourcing, Supply Chain & Procurement Practice

In an era of faster product cycles, global competition and increased risk of supply chain disruption, corporate leaders need to know how to use procurement–now often called supply management–as a competitive advantage. Purchasing and global sourcing can account for more than 70 percent of overall costs in many industries. CTPD works with clients to make procurement a strategic operation and realize huge bottom-line impact. We develop insights that work for our clients. Our approach and recommendations are highly customized and lead to practical actions.

From assessment through program design to execution, from strategy through implementation to continual improvement, we’re with you all the way, delivering accelerated outcomes that delight both you and your organization.
