Our strategic sourcing consultants and procurement advisors define sourcing strategies that establish a business case for change, identify sourcing opportunities, and evaluate partner capabilities that will support future requirements. We take a holistic view of the service provider landscape based on our deep understanding of global sourcing solutions, industry needs, provider capabilities, procurement strategy, and emerging technology trends. Our recommendations balance both long term strategic goals and short-term tactical priorities grounded in an understanding of our clients’ vision, key business drivers, and constraints. We then prioritize the client’s requirements to develop a roadmap with recommendations, milestones, and timelines for implementation.
Awarding a contract is only the beginning of the relationship between the client and service provider. You need qualitative strategic sourcing implementation. Our sourcing implementation consulting services help clients navigate the complexities of provider relationships. Our strategy roadmap details the steps necessary to realize a flourishing environment capable of managing critical priorities. One of our first areas of focus is on human capital and internal organizational culture. Our sourcing consultants assist clients with integrating a team of internal retained resources with both new and existing service providers. Our transition planning and execution oversight services mitigate any disruption to the business. In order to realize long term goals, we develop a roadmap to achieve high quality governance and oversight. This approach reinforces the responsibilities of each party and ensures that the requirements of the contract are being met.
Poor execution and lack of ongoing governance are the primary reasons strategic goals and objectives are not met. That’s why you need effective strategic sourcing governance. Trik supports clients throughout the lifecycle of their partnerships to ensure financial results and operational improvements are realized. We work with internal stakeholders and external service providers, creating a formal governance environment. Our governance approach comprises a robust program management process to foster alignment and track progress. Our governance consulting includes formal management of scope change and impact, tracking of contractual commitments and deliverables, and risk management. Our comprehensive solution ensures sourcing strategies are executed as planned in full alignment with the business objectives.
