SIX PILLARS OF SRM

The State of Flux six pillars of SRM is a model for SRM excellence, developed and refined over a number of years. Our initial SRM research identified key themes and activities that, if effectively combined, were resulting in better SRM practice and outcomes. We developed this into a model that defines the key interdependent elements of SRM.
