“There’s a lot involved with tail spend, but there’s also a lot of potential.” – Adam Moore

Supplier diversity programs are ramping up, and this will only continue to put pressure on your company’s supplier diversity leaders. Fortunately, there is a way to improve the results of your supplier diversity program, and that is through its tail spend. What is tail spend? How can tail spend improve existing diversity and inclusion programs?

In this episode, we explain how organizations can use tail spend to boost supplier diversity efforts. We discuss tail spend and why it’s low-hanging fruit for growing supplier diversity.
