Transformation and Needs Assessment
Experts in Procurement Assessments and Transformations
Every procurement organization reaches a point in its development when it experiences a critical limit in capacity or capability and needs to change to push through and accomplish more. The challenge is to know where to look for these gaps, and how to fill them once you find them.
SSP specializes in helping procurement teams reach their potential by harnessing the power of targeted assessments that identify specific improvements they can make on their way to broader procurement transformation. Our procurement assessments create customized roadmaps for achieving industry-leading procurement performance. Backed by our recommendations and guided implementation, our clients’ procurement processes are streamlined and integrated across the enterprise, generating enhanced operational efficiencies, building value, and driving growth.
Procurement Assessments
Our evaluations review our clients’ procurement organizations against best practices and benchmarks to identify gaps in performance and specific steps to address them through a comprehensive transformation plan. We start by creating a baseline for your current procurement capabilities using our proprietary, nine-dimensional operating model, with both quantitative and qualitative benchmarks. Once we identify the areas needing improvement, we provide a detailed report with targeted recommendations and a detailed procurement transformation roadmap for reaching your procurement objectives. Our assessments also help build the internal business case for your procurement transformation agenda among key executives and other stakeholders.
