The CATAAlliance Supply (Chain) Practices Forum is a means to share best practice expertise and to also expand your network of professional contacts. Our focus is supply (chain) practice including procurement, and the impact role today's purchasing professional can and will have on organizational transformation.

One of our goals is to inspire participants to think outside of the framework of that with which they are most familiar and most comfortable.

Whether this is achieved through the introduction of a breakthrough idea or by simply providing a new lens through which an old problem can be viewed, the key is to reach a better understanding of the forces that are reshaping what has become a highly visible, extremely critical yet largely misunderstood element of a sound overall enterprise.

Through the new Forum and related white papers, CD's, Conferences and seminars, we want to both engage and challenge you to become a part of the changes that will reshape the way organizations procure goods and services for the next 25 years and beyond.

Welcome to the new world of business intelligence and social networking! Welcome to the new CATAAlliance Forum on Supply (Chain) Practices!
