Sourcing Professionals: How Important Is An Open Mind?

Some may argue that innovation is the key to improved performance. In other words, relying on "the way things have always been done" is only going to put your organization at a competitive disadvantage.

Having an open mind is necessary to innovate. And that doesn't mean having an open mind to only your ideas (believe it or not, those who claim to have an open mind are often very closed-minded to breakthrough ideas other than their own).

On this topic, I've recently penned a two-part series for eSourcing Forum called "The Open-Minded Sourcing Professional." Check it out those posts here and here.
