Large Scale Consulting Groups on Outsourcing Projects
Large consulting firms offer high-level comprehensive services to corporate clients. Typically these services cover outsourcing strategy, business analysis, sourcing and governance processes, operations structuring, vendor selection, contracts and agreements, and organizational design.
Challenge
One key aspect often overlooked, or included as a line item in a broader category, is ensuring the right talent is in place and specific capabilities developed for managing the outsourced project or program. How can these strategic consulting groups, focused at corporate-level systems, focus on the individual competency requirements for the different vendor managers who are assigned to projects.
These Vendor Managers must get the best from service providers, avoid waste, address delivery issues, and integrate the services delivered with company operations.
