Struggling to define a clear category strategy? Not seeing results despite multiple sourcing waves? Or simply missing a structured approach to category management?
We bring a proven, pragmatic methodology tailored to your maturity and organization — to help you turn category management into a true value driver.

Why is it important?

Clear sourcing strategies enhance negotiation leverage, strengthen supplier relationships, secure cost savings, mitigate supply disruptions, and drive continuous improvement. Therefore, category management helps the company achieve its global goals (e.g., cost reduction, speed to market).

What outcome to expect?

Through category management, organizations can deliver:

Cost optimization and value creation
Suppliers performance
Stronger compliance with internal/external policies and regulations (e.g., sustainability)
New innovative models & solutions from the external market
More resilient and agile supply chain
Sourcing strategies supporting global business goals

Our Methodology

Assessment

Conduct an internal and external analysis to establish a clear understanding of the organization outsourcing's needs, spend dynamics, market evolution and current operating models. The objective is to define a comprehensive 360-view on the category.

Strategy

Develop a clear procurement strategy by aligning internal priorities with external market opportunities. Define the 'why' to build the strategic direction and the 'how' to identify the key levers that will drive execution and impact.

KPIs & Implementation

The KPI phase ensures the category strategy is outcome-driven and measurable. The implementation and monitoring phase ensures the strategy is executed effectively and remains adaptable. This includes establishing governance, implementing a clear communication plan, and setting defined timelines to drive accountability and track progress.
