CUMU Conference 2019

This workshop is geared towards university administrative staff who are interested in some of the implementation details connected to a local procurement strategy. Where data and reporting is concerned, the information you share is only as good as your data set. This workshop walks participants through our 2018 process of comprehensively cleaning up our procurement data and how we generated analytical filters to better quantify our economic impact locally and with diversity suppliers. The result has been a more accurate account of our local purchasing performance than we have ever had, and this accuracy lets us better understand the kinds of community-facing support programming we can design to further advance our local procurement strategy.
