This SIG member from the buy-side has a decentralized procurement model, no mandate, and a small sourcing team (less than five people) that handles both direct and indirect sourcing. However, they have huge spend across multiple business units. If you have experience with this kind of organizational structure, please read on.
This member is seeking advice on how to best approach their strategic sourcing and work with a thought partner. For example, today they use KesselRun Corporate Travel Solution to help them not only manage travel, but negotiate contracts, add value, develop strategic approaches to the category and create cost savings. They consider KesselRun a thought partner.
Will you take a moment and respond (or alternatively, I can arrange a discussion offline):
1) When you need help with your entire sourcing strategy or just a particular category, how do you prioritize and resource what categories get support?
2) How do you determine when you bring in an outside firm for support?
3) What firms do you rely on?
4) Why have you chosen them?
This member is looking for more than an outsourcing partner who provides RFx templates and evaluation workbooks.
As a reminder, SIG's valued advisors, consultants and providers are welcome to respond.
