Sourcing Management

Disciplined partner management and evaluation ensures both a service providers’ accountability for delivering on the initial business case, as well as providing continuous value to the business. Blue Canopy utilizes highly effective management processes to ensure the on-going success of each service delivery provider relationship, providing corrective actions based on defined performance measurements.

Key Sourcing Management Challenges:

  • Unrealistic expectations
  • Imbalanced service demand and supply capacity
  • Lack of leadership, cultural fit, or skilled resources
  • Rigid contract clauses
  • Ambiguous measures for success and performance metrics

How we address those challenges:

  • Design the management dashboard to monitor vendor performance.
  • Evaluate sourcing arrangement results compared to expectations defined in the business case.
  • Evaluate the need to modify contract arrangements.
