We will delve into a crucial aspect that every business executive, whether you’re in procurement, strategy, finance, or sitting in the C-suite, needs to master: the art of scoping your consulting projects.

Proper scoping isn't just about controlling costs—it’s about maximizing the value each consulting engagement brings to your organization. Scoping your consulting projects is not just a preliminary step before issuing an RFP; it’s a dynamic tool that plays a crucial role throughout the entire buying process.

Surprisingly, scoping remains relevant even after a project has started. It is essential for managing change orders and ensuring project adaptability. In this episode of the Smart Consulting Sourcing Podcast, Helene unveils some of the secret weapons we use at Consulting Quest to harness the full power of scoping.

Join us on the Smart Consulting Sourcing Podcast, where Helene explores how to procure, utilize, and manage consulting services as strategic investments. Don't miss it!

If you are looking to explore the benefits that digital solutions can bring to your organizations' procurement efforts in optimizing processes and driving greater value, this webinar is for you.

Consulting procurement is vital for all organizations, but it comes with its unique challenges. Especially, traditional methods often lead to misalignment with strategic goals, causing wasted resources and missed growth opportunities.

Procurement teams tend to work in isolation, lacking input from critical departments like Strategy, Finance, and Legal. This siloed approach hampers collaboration and diminishes project effectiveness. Furthermore, manual procurement processes are time-consuming and error-prone, resulting in delays and increased costs.

Organizations need to take a multi-disciplinary approach to solve these challenges by involving teams from Strategy, Finance, and Legal departments. Digital platforms can effectively facilitate this collaboration. These platforms simplify the procurement process, from choosing to managing and evaluating the consultants’ performance.

They're vital in transforming consulting procurement by making processes smoother, improving collaboration, and optimizing investments. For instance, we will present a Case Study of consource.io, our recently launched SaaS platform to showcase its unique approach to managing consulting investments.

What you will learn:

✅Understand the challenges in traditional consulting procurement and the benefits of a holistic, team-based approach.
✅Strategies for maximizing the ROI of consulting spend by involving key departments beyond procurement.
✅Understanding and appreciating how digital platforms like consource.io can revolutionize the management of consulting services.
✅Strategies for aligning consulting projects with strategic goals, managing costs effectively, and leveraging consulting outcomes across the organization.

Join us on May 23rd, 2024, for our LinkedIn Live event webinar at 5 PM CET and 11 AM EST to dive deeper into these topics and unlock the full potential of your consulting spend!
