Summary


This seminar explores three different aspects or components of category management.

Description


This seminar explores three different aspects or components of category management. It starts by explaining what category management is and why the government is applying it. Then it provides an overview of how Best-in-Class solutions are designated and how to begin using them since a big part of the category management effort is focused on driving broader adoption of Best-in-Class. Lastly, it show how the tenets of category management are being translated into tactical tools that acquisition professionals can share, learn from, and use in their day-to-day work since category management is largely about improving government-wide buying through that sharing.
