When it comes to crafting out that perfect RFP, you can think of it like building a house- you need a solid foundation before you can start putting up the walls and roof, right? That is why, this episode covers some fundamental elements of a successful RFP, leaving the nitty-gritty technical stuff.

The RFP process starts with putting together the perfect team and then, delegating tasks and responsibilities. Almost like a game of soccer- you need everyone to play their position to win the game.

And finally, the perfect RFP is like baking a cake- you need the right ingredients in the right amount. Just like that, your RFP needs to be clear, realistic, simple, and formalized without unnecessary details.

So, there you have it. Building a successful RFP is like building a house, playing soccer, and baking a cake all rolled into one. It's all about having the right team, delegating tasks effectively, and keeping it simple yet effective.
So, that was just a sneak peek of today's episode. But if you want the full enchilada, tune in to hear Helene elaborate on all these points. Her insights will surely give you a head start in nailing your RFP process, and that's what you want, right? A rock-solid RFP that will help you grab hold the best consultants for your project. So, don't miss out!

One of our friends recently made a hilarious comparison between a blind consultant hunting and going to a restaurant and asking the chef to whip up a dish without telling them what you want. It might turn out delicious, but it's not exactly what you had in mind. The same goes for consulting. An RFP is crafted to spare you the misery of embarking on a pointless crusade.

In this episode of "Smart Consulting Sourcing", we delve into the necessity of Request for Proposals (RFPs) for consulting services. Our host, Helene, answers the question, "Do I always need an RFP?" The short answer is yes, and for a good reason. RFPs serve as the blueprint for collaborations with external consultants, allowing you to organize fair competition in bidding processes and to manage change more effectively over time.

A well-crafted RFP will also help you identify the right consulting firm needed for the job, assess timeline feasibility, and budget constraints. Even with a selected consultant, advantages still apply!

Hey there, amazing women in procurement! We gotta ask - when was the last time you flexed your negotiation muscles for yourself?

It's not always easy, and most of us struggle with it. But fear not, because Alejandra Garcia has some great tips on this very topic in her interview with Helene.

If you're a younger woman looking to climb that corporate ladder, Alejandra has three key recommendations for you: don't be afraid to negotiate, get comfy with conflict management, and learn to navigate those pesky office politics. Trust us, these skills are essential for your career growth and avoiding them could be a major setback.

So, how about joining Helene and Alejandra for a deep conversation and some serious inspiration and knowledge? It's gonna be a blast, we promise. And speaking of inspiration, as we put together our Women's Day special interview series, we couldn't help but feel more and more empowered with each episode.

In the end, consulting is all about creating value. But measuring the value created from consulting is like trying to examine the worth of a good joke. Is it the number of laughs it generates, the amount of money it makes, or the satisfaction it brings to the audience?

It's hard to say, but you know it when you see it. And with the right consultant, you'll know it when you see the value they create for your business.

In this second episode of the series "How to buy consulting services like a pro," Helene delves deeper into the topic of what consultants bring to the table. From technical expertise to insights into organizational culture and politics, consultants can provide valuable data, benchmarks, methodologies, tools, and processes.

The world of procurement and supply chain management is changing rapidly. The past three years have shown us just how vital it is to have a solid supply chain strategy, no matter your industry. It's like building a castle - you want to make sure your foundation is strong enough to withstand any attack that comes your way.

At the same time, building a sustainable supply chain is essential for our future because it ensures the responsible use of resources, reduces waste and pollution, and helps mitigate the negative impacts of climate change.

Additionally, a sustainable supply chain can lead to greater resilience and long-term profitability for businesses while also meeting the growing demand from consumers for more environmentally and socially responsible products and services.

Of course, building a sustainable supply chain is easier said than done. Rome wasn’t built in one day. And that's precisely what this PGC podcast episode is all about! This episode features Kartik Iyer, a supply chain expert who shares his insights and experience on how to build a resilient supply chain.

We explore why sustainability is critical and how to define it. We examine vital elements companies must implement to achieve a sustainable supply chain. And we tackle the tricky question of pursuing suppliers in countries like India to participate in sustainability.

Do you often get those nagging pangs that, as procurement and supply chain leaders, you have a crucial role in the global sustainability effort? Then, please take a deep breath and tune in to our podcast for invaluable insights.
