1:50 PM Workshop: From Cost Control to Value Preservation: The Rise of Decay Management in Sourcing

Sourcing has spent decades optimizing cost; in the age of AI, the bigger risk isn't overspending—it's overcommitting to technology that rapidly loses value. Traditional sourcing models assume stability: defined requirements, multi-year contracts, and predictable ROI. Enter Decay Management: a sourcing-led approach to proactively managing technology obsolescence and value erosion.

  • Learn the definition and history of Decay Management
  • Identify who Souring can partner with in your organization to develop a Decay Management practice
  • Hear real-world examples of organizations overpaying for obsolete capabilities
  • Walk away with a practical framework to modernize your sourcing strategy
