Degree to which a
sourcing strategy
exists
Sourcing strategy is ad hoc or
nonexistent.
Sourcing strategies reflect and are
aligned with overall business
strategy and objectives, including
high level risk requirements.
Historical spend analyses are
regularly and routinely conducted
by market and across markets -
i.e. by specific commodity, service,
location and business.
Commodity management and
sourcing strategies define
appropriate purchasing and
payment processes and tools.
Contract terms, lengths, and
conditions are defined to drive
optimal benefits to the enterprise;
in terms of total life-cycle cost,
service, and quality.
Sourcing strategy is reviewed and
updated annually (or more
frequently) to reflect direct linkage
to the company's strategic growth
plans, market changes and
product innovations, production
plans and business
M&A/ventures.

Breadth of supplier
universe
Supplier selection is based on
historical or personal
relationships; suppliers often
selected prior to Procurement’s
involvement in a project.
Projects are initiated to limit the
total number of suppliers and
bundle the spend volume.
Procurement is involved in the
supplier selection process.
Suppliers are often considered on
a regional or compartmentalized
basis.
Supplier universe is considered
by major commodity or service
area rather than in aggregate.
Suppliers are considered for
bundled and/or extended services
that may extend to multiple areas
of competency.
Supply universe is global and not
limited to traditional commodity
suppliers.

Degree to which
supplier risk is
measured and
managed within the
sourcing process
Risk not considered as part of
sourcing decisions or supplier
management.
Supply risk is considered as part
of category-specific sourcing
efforts and supplier performance
management processes.
Supply base risk is explicitly
factored into broader business
continuity objectives. Supplier
risk is considered beyond the
specific good or service being
sourced.
Procurement works with other risk
management staff, ensuring
alignment between internal
risk/return preferences, business
objectives, and both general and
specific supply market risks.

Degree of

to assure supply
No supply contingency planning
exists.
Contingency plan exists in case of
supply shortage; alternate
suppliers and alternate locations
identified.
Alternative supply sources are
developed in conjunction with
current suppliers for key
purchases.
Back-up suppliers are required for
critical or strategic categories and
items, including formalized
contingency plans to ensure
seamless supplier transition and
application of penalties and
liabilities with supplier(s) at fault.

Level of
rationalization of
supply base size
Large number of suppliers due to
short-term, “one-off” relationships.
Organization has identified the
need to rationalize the number of
suppliers in order to create
leverage.
Supply base rationalization is
complete. Few new suppliers are
needed and an added supplier
typically results in a removed
supplier (equilibrium). Strong
relationships developed with
current suppliers focusing on JPI
in critical or large dollar spend
areas.
Structured process is in place that
benchmarks the marketplace and
ensures continual supply base
assessment.

EXPECTATIONS
Most organizations are
overly optimistic
about performance
improvement that will
be achieved though
outsourcing.
Consider adopting
more conservative
assumptions in
business cases
RELATIONSHIP
Never lose sight of the
fact that success
ultimately revolves around
talent, relationships and
leadership.
Partner selection should
never lose sight of cultural
fit and people capabilities
to meet needs
CAPABILTIES
Assess providers’
ability to support
digital transformation,
adopt new
technologies, and
improve analytics and
information
management
capabilities
VALUE DRIVERS
In the past,
outsourcing
performance has been
highly correlated with
a tactical focus on cost
and labor arbitrate,
In the future, reassess
the providers’ ability to
support digital
transformation
SOURCING MODEL
Consider adopting a
hybrid sourcing model
with selective
outsourcing, based on an
assessment of internal
relative to outsourcing
providers’ capabilities to
combine the best of both
