Sourcing Effectiveness Assessment

Unlock the full potential of your sourcing operations

Organizations are struggling to understand the real business value they receive from their sourcing strategies. Are they delivering the benefits promised? Do the relationships work as they were envisioned?

Like most global sourcing operations, yours can probably benefit from a Sourcing Effectiveness Assessment (SEA). PwC’s disciplined and detailed assessment of performance can help you determine whether your current sourcing operations are delivering to their expected value, recognize any opportunities to improve their value, and implement an action plan to ensure you are getting maximum value from these operations.

Do you need an SEA?

If your organization exhibits any of the following symptoms, then you could benefit from an SEA:

• You have limited visibility and/or transparency into the actual value derived from a sourcing relationship
• An outsourcing service provider or shared-service centre has not delivered to market standards
• You need to reset delivery baselines and/or service levels
• You have a change in business strategy or original rationale for sourcing decision
• You have a contractual requirement with service provider(s) to execute mid-term, third-party review/benchmarking clause
• Your existing contract with service providers are approaching their expiration date
