The trend of Corporate Virtualization (increasing use of suppliers in place of staff) means that there are layers upon layers of suppliers which are part of your business, and directly impact your ability to achieve your corporate objectives. Managing this network of disparate and disconnected supply is fundamentally different to managing a traditional, commodity focused supply chain and requires a fundamentally different set of skills.\r
