Our processes are designed to align expectations quickly and reduce the transaction timeline. We do this by helping our clients at all stages of the outsourcing life cycle.
- At the initial stages, we help determine what functions to source identify interdependencies, and how to allocate sourced functions among multiple service providers (if desired);
- At the procurement stage, to help develop RFP and related documents that map the client's business needs, performance indicators, and other goals into agreement ready form.
- At the negotiation stage, to lead interest-based negotiations and help align expectations; and
- Thereafter, to provide ongoing advice and renegotiation assistance (as needed) to clients already in sourcing arrangements.
Our practice helps clients successfully navigate these waters to allow them to achieve service delivery improvements, increased flexibility, and cost efficiencies.
