Less Details

We do not undertake typical Dog & Pony show type multi-round vendor RFPs to secure optimal solutions and savings. Such old-school and protracted sourcing practices only serve one entity – the sourcing advisor, who plays both the buyer & provider to accrue billables and favor. Instead, we are serving the IT-BPS ‘Optimize & Transform’ mandates at global corporations like American Airlines, Toyota Motors, Mars Inc., Rio Tinto, HP Inc., ATCC, and helping them get to the finish line on expeditious footing via contemporary sourcing techniques (and tools). This keynote session will showcase these modern Sourcing & Contracting techniques that we are deploying for our global CxO clients (all willing references) and securing consistent 20-25% savings realization in a matter of weeks, not months. You will learn:

  • What are the key enterprise trends influencing global sourcing and shoring decisions, and how to balance the expectations and trade-offs of these models?
  • How to achieve efficiencies across the entire IT stack while addressing governance challenges in a fragmented portfolio?
  • How do self-funded and subscription-based Global Capability Centers (GCCs) impact talent and IP autonomy compared to traditional models like De-novo and Build Operate Transfer (BOT)?
  • How to identify optimization and transformation opportunities across Solution, Performance, Pricing, Governance, and Terms & Conditions?
  • Contractual reality versus the Gen AI social media plastering – how much Gen AI-led productivity, specific tasks, and associated time commitments are vendors eventually signing up for in advanced negotiations & contracting?
