Be the CEO of your category!

Are you a new procurement or category manager wanting to learn an overall framework for developing and implementing category strategies that stakeholders will embrace? Or an experienced procurement professional wanting to learn where you can improve your approach and raise your category strategy development and implementation to the next level? Are you a forward-looking procurement leader needing a playbook focused on coaching your team?

If you answered yes to any of the three questions, The Global Category ManagerÕs Handbook could help you!

Whether you are a new or experienced procurement professional/category manager, the process outlined is proven around the globe across a wide range of companies, industries, and categories. The 5-step process includes business strategy development tools and the practical application of these tools arranged in a logical sequence designed to help you become a better category manager and, in turn, accelerate your professional development.

Category management in procurement involves managing a category of spend by engaging key stakeholders, evaluating business requirements and suppliers, and creating and implementing a strategy that maximizes the categoryÕs value for the company. Category management enables a company to manage spend more effectively and realize millions of dollars in lost value by improving stakeholder and procurement collaboration. Value realization is not about buying the lowest price, it includes improvements in supply assurance, increased quality, service improvements, decreased total cost, access to supplier innovations, and verification of ethical compliance and sustainability.

Category strategy development and approval is the process of engaging the stakeholders for a category, analyzing their needs versus the supply baseÕs capabilities, and developing a strategy to maximize value. Strategy value realization and supplier management are the processes to refine and hone the supply base and its capabilities and deliver the value promised in the strategy.

Creating and implementing a successful category strategy will demonstrate your capabilities and show the stakeholders and suppliers that you are worthy of being the CEO of the category by:

1. Creating a cross-functional team of stakeholders and building their readiness and desire for change.

2. Helping stakeholders see what is possible and preparing them for the future journey.

3. Developing and implementing a comp

Style, Comfort
Size: 9, Color: Sand
If I could give a Ten Star review, I would. Hands down the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned. I wore them 16 days straight while touring Italy. Comfortable and goes with all of your outfits. They pack well in a suitcase too. Light weight.

Wonderful
Super comfy and easy on and off, yet stylish imo! I could walk miles in these as a 56 yo and have worn them for three years! I hope they never stop making them. The only tweek I would suggest is to cover the footbed with leather or suede not cloth so they would last longer!

Lovely sandals!
I highly recommend! These are so comfortable! Right out of the box, they can be worn all day. The velcro-adjustable straps are great for making for a perfect fit. The aren't clunky to wear, even though they appear to be. They're super cute, in my opinion. The sock liner is textile, so feet feel good all day, not slimy, like leather and suede can sometimes make feet feel if socks aren't worn.

Cute and Comfortable
Size: 10, Color: Black
This is my second pair. I bought the sand color at my local Macy's. I got their last pair. I have issues with back pain and ankle swelling and pain. These are so comfortable I had to get them in Black. The adjustable straps are great. My feet are a little bit wider because of the swelling issues. So if you have very narrow feet these might be a little big. You might want to go down a half a size. But otherwise I wear a size 10 and they fit perfectly. I don't think the picture does the color justice. The black almost looks like velvet, it's very deep and rich. I wore them out today for the first time and got lots of compliments. The footbed is very comfortable with the memory foam. Lots of support. I noticed my back and ankle pain is much better wearing these. I've never owned UGG before. If these hold up really well and continue to stay comfortable, I will be purchasing other styles for fall and winter.
