Competencies, Capabilities and Upskilling Talent

Sourcing skills are in very high demand and the war on talent continues. Do you and your team have the competencies and capabilities to deliver upmost value, whilst driving innovations and being involved in an ever-broader sourcing eco-system?

The GSA has revamped the way it is delivering education into the Strategic Sourcing profession, on both the buyside and supply side, as the way we manage contracts and people is changing on a pin. The competencies and capabilities framework enables professionals to determine the skills gaps they have and how to close them with the professional development and on demand content available to members of the GSA.
