Learn how to balance the proposed benefits with the pitfalls associated of a GPO relationship.
Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO) have played a key role across most industries for over a century. They are formed to help reduce cost for members but have evolved into providing a much more comprehensive offering of services. Without understanding their many complexities, the value that is supposed to exist from being a member in a GPO may not be there at all. This topic will teach you about the types of GPOs and how they may benefit your organization. You will also learn about their evolution over time and why they continue to be such a large influence in many industries.
