As a small firm we can be very flexible and tailor our services directly to your specific needs, but we also recognize that we add the most value when working in areas where we have the most knowledge and experience. A natural flow to many of our engagements is to start with a short phase assessment, followed by either hands on implementation leadership or an implementation advisory role. As a small independent firm, we are very well positioned to serve as a neutral and trusted adviser looking out for your best interests.
We get it, leading a procurement organization is no easy task these days. On one hand you keep hearing that robotic process automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain are going to automate everything, but on the other hand, you still find your teams struggling with the most mundane and seemingly simple issues. The critical challenge is where to begin. A short four to eight week assessment can serve as a great start. We will evaluate the people, process, and technology aspects of your procurement organization and produce a prioritized list of recommendations to move you past analysis paralysis and into action.
Lets face it, most procurement organizations have been pushed to become so lean over the past decade, that they don't exactly have seasoned technology implementation experts lounging around waiting for work. But hiring a big implementation firm can both risky and cost prohibitive. We specialize in providing the highly experienced leadership you need, while also leveraging as many of your existing resources as possible. This approach will cost less, provide more flexibility, and most importantly enable a smoother transition when you are ready to run on your own.
There are times when the sheer volume of effort required necessitates hiring a large consulting firm to drive your procurement transformation. This can work well, but if you aren't seasoned in how the big firms operate, it can be well worth retaining an experienced adviser. The adviser will be 100% committed to your best interests and has the experience to prevent where possible, and mitigate where not possible, the challenges that will surely arise during your implementation.
