Alsbridge and Harley-Davidson co-present “On the Road to High Performance and Innovation with Your Outsourcing Partner” at SIG Global Leadership Summit, Scottsdale, AZ.

Leading global sourcing advisory and benchmarking firm, Alsbridge, Inc., will co-present with its client Harley-Davidson and share insights on how to achieve high performance and innovation with your sourcing partner, at the Sourcing Interests Group (SIG) Global Leadership Summit 2012, October 10^th in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The companies will present ‘The Harley-Davidson Transformation Journey - On the Road to High Performance and Innovation with Your External Partner’ on October 10, 2012, 9:20am –10:10am.

Alsbridge, Managing Director, Craig D. Nelson, along with Harley-Davidson Vice President and CIO, David A. Cotteleer will present an in-depth case study on how the American motorcycle manufacturer reinvented its Global Information Services (GIS), to add value to its business by creating a partnership for performance through outsourcing. Very much like our client’s product, motorcycles, the transformation process has many moving parts, which need to move in harmony to leverage the capability of your team and providers to produce the power that you expect from your partnerships. 

Attendees of this session will also learn:

• The six keys of transformation that all organizations must address
• The organizational challenges of transformation and how can they be met
• What competencies are most critical for achieving managed services success with your suppliers
• What results should be expected in what time frames and how to measure success

 Alsbridge will also host a Chili Cook-Off, on the final evening of the event. The cook-off will take place from 7:00 pm– 10:00 pm on October 11th, on the lawn by the pool at the Scottsdale Fairmont. This will be an entertaining way to come together in a fun and casual setting.    Sign-up will be available at the registration desk at the SIG Summit.
