The Sourcing Performance Gap

Why European Manufacturers Are Rethinking Strategic Sourcing

Geopolitical uncertainty, growing competitive pressure and changing trade conditions are forcing European manufacturers to rethink their sourcing strategies. New suppliers need to be identified, established relationships reconsidered and alternatives evaluated.

But the real challenge isn’t the strategic decision itself – it’s executing it. The gap between what sourcing teams need to achieve and what their organization can actually deliver is what we call the Sourcing Performance Gap.

Discover in this whitepaper how this gap emerges, where it becomes visible in day-to-day sourcing work – and how organizations can strengthen their ability to execute.

What you’ll get from this whitepaper:

  • The five dimensions of the Performance Gap: Speed, Productivity, Competition, Visibility and Value – and how to identify where friction occurs in your organization
  • Concrete causes of delays in the sourcing process: from fragmented information to manual handovers between procurement steps
  • Practical approaches to stronger execution: four foundational capabilities plus an outlook on AI-Native Sourcing that takes work off buyers’ plates without taking them out of the decision
