I'm happy to share this new video that I made for Dragon Sourcing: https://ift.tt/2RegWDC I made the video filming, interviewing, sound capturing, editing and publishing. If you would like a video like this, I can make it for you, contact me to receive a quote: [email protected] More info about Dragon Sourcing: Dragon Sourcing is a procurement services provider, delivering significant and sustainable value to organisations in the procurement of their goods and services from emerging and developed markets. Whether the objective is to procure competitively from emerging markets for export, to procure for local operations, or to gain global procurement intelligence to make better decisions, Dragon Sourcing is your partner of choice. Dragon Sourcing aims to develop long-term relationships based on trust, transparency and business integrity with a limited number of organizations. Founded in 2004, Dragon Sourcing has expanded to offices across Asia, Europe and the Americas which means we are able to closely integrate with both the clients and their supply markets. While offering a complete sourcing service to companies across the globe looking to procure effectively from low cost countries, Dragon Sourcing understands the challenges involved and work in partnership to address the risks and deliver results to the bottom line. Dragon Sourcing gives you targeted insight into categories and markets to enable effective procurement decisions. Market volatility causes significant challenges to procurement managers. To deliver value to the business it is critical to have insight into the current cost and market dynamics of key categories & raw materials, together with early warnings of potential market risks. With so many sources of information available Dragon Sourcing rapidly filters out what is relevant and reliable to support effective decision making. High operating costs, staff attrition and corruption are the main challenges to the effectiveness of small International Procurement Offices (IPOs) below 10 staff. Through outsourcing your IPO to Dragon Sourcing you can immediately reduce your overheads, reduce staffing risk, and the risk of corruption, whilst gaining access to the Dragon Sourcing’s scale.
