Great poll. One organization that attempted to bring together the discipline of procurement with strategic relationship management is the Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals (ASAP - http://www.strategic-alliances.org). It has gone through some significant changes since 1999 (when I first met them while working in Silicon Valley). I’d love 360 Vendor Management’s view on whether ASAP provides specific value add in the context of outsourcing relationship management.
Best,
Mark
