As supplier diversity consultants we view supplier diversity as a critical component of supply chain management. Our task is to conduct strategic sourcing and to establish the supplier diversity infrastructure. Our services also include identifying the barriers that impede effectiveness through examination of policies, practices and procedures currently in place coupled with the development of a solutions-centered toolbox of strategic options. Additionally, deliberate Sourcing initiative aimed at cost savings is one of the best vehicles we use to identify opportunities and increase spending with minority vendors.
