We are passionate about enabling collaborative relationships between buyers and suppliers that deliver sustainable value to both parties. Today's CPO is being asked to do more and more - and do it with fewer resources and lower budgets. Above all, they are being asked to provide value above and beyond the cost-savings. Whether its partnering with a vendor to supplier a new product or geographical market; collaborating to innovate in an existing market or innovating to increase process efficiency, an organisations supplier base promises a goldmine of as yet untapped opportunity. It's clear that procurement, with its deep reach across the internal organisation and outside to the supplier base is in an ideal position to drive this value. But the vision, skills and knowledge is often lacking within the company to drive the changes needed. This is where we come in. With our partners we can offer a range of tools, consultancy, facilitation and training services to: - Empower your team to identify the right partners for your organisation to partner with - Identify the gaps between your organisation and its potential collaborators team that might inhibit a successful partnership - such as strategic direction and speed of travel, competencies, vision and structure - Provide solutions and advice for addressing those key gaps - Deliver a solid framework for designing managing and governing the collaboration in order to maximise the opportunities it brings for both partners - Develop strategies for introducing the entrepreneurial mindset required by procurement employees to envisage and exploit hidden opportunities
