The majority of all outsourcing deals fail to deliver expected value. Oftentimes procurement is so focused on getting the deal signed that we fail to prepare for what happens after the ink dries, hence do not set ourselves up for success. In this session you will discover an innovative way of managing supplier transitions that benefits buyer, seller and business partner alike. The bigger the project, the more vital it is to have a well thought out and rigorously managed program structure and implementation plan. These proven practices apply whether it is a buyer-to-supplier or supplier-to-supplier transition.

Topics covered in this session included:

  • Critical success factors for transitioning from implementation to sustainability
  • How to leverage the “period of enlightenment” to validate and align assumptions
  • How to optimize a program structure and utilize proven practices for seamless implementation
  • What role procurement must play throughout the implementation process
