Improve the Value Derived from Sourcing
Elix-IRR is experienced in
executing well thought through, well managed and well run sourcing
programmes that deliver tangible benefits for our clients.
Sourcing initiatives are most valuable when guided by an integrated strategy, with the right service and the right partners. Elix-IRR's advisors derive value from sourcing initiatives. All of our advisors are chosen for their first-hand experience of all forms of sourcing.
We focus on making operating models work using sourcing as an enabler. The market is largely polarised into either transactional or theoretical advisors. Conversely, we mix deep buy side, sell side, legal and consulting transformation experience with a laser focus on using sourcing to deliver on operating strategies.
Our clients generally find five issues with their sourcing strategy:
A theoretical strategy paper from a strategy consultancy that
is impractical or cannot be
implemented.
A series of business initiated activities that result in multiple
sourcing transactions in multiple
forms
(i.e. captives, shared
services,
JV’s, utilities etc) that are all unconnected.
Multiple BPO, application or infrastructure initiatives with
advisors driving a unit cost reduction
play
in isolation.
A partnership with a supplier who is helping them develop a
sourcing strategy (but
understandably
have an
ulterior motive and
agenda).
A set of
unconnected
sourcing renewals that have the focus on operational continuity and
price.
If these sound like the challenges you face, we deliver three
types of sourcing service:
