Refining your sourcing strategy
It goes without saying that with so much at stake in any project it is an imperative that the proposal and/or the procurement strategy is as well thought through and managed as possible.
In recent years, the introduction of sophisticated methodologies and models that help maximize value, expedite results, and reduce cost of life-time ownership have beneficially changed the landscape and the resulting outcomes. Despite the successes however, there are still major missed opportunities, often confused and potentially negative client supplier relationships that are born out of imbedded cultures and practices that are an impediment to the achievement of more beneficial outcomes for both owners and their suppliers.
Many excellent supplier companies are very poor at understanding how best to engage with prospective owner companies when it comes to sourcing approaches and proposals. They often misread the needs of these companies, fail to understand their own key points of difference and don't communicate them clearly.
Client companies may have adopted more sophisticated management methodologies in their procurement of supply chain services, but in some cases these have led to poor holistic understanding, team sharing and disparate management.
