This White Paper is the fourth in our Consulting Services Sourcing & Procurement Insight Series, where we interview leaders of global procurement organizations and discuss consulting category management best practices.

Monadnock Research (MR) recently interviewed the Sourcing and Procurement Manager for Consulting Services at a Fortune 500 multinational consumer goods company, a leader in virtually every category it serves. The purpose of the interview was to discuss their perspectives on sourcing and procurement of consulting services. Based in the US, this individual has responsibility for North American consulting spending.

The interview provides perspective on the company's current demand for consulting services globally, practice area trends, contracting best practices, firm compensation arrangements, services spending, organization structure, engagement value objectives, consulting alternatives, sourcing and procurement challenges, and internal category management strategy, maturity and practices.

The following topics are addressed in the paper for the company's internal consulting services sourcing and procurement initiatives:

  • current demand for consulting services globally,
  • practice area trends,
  • contracting best practices,
  • firm compensation arrangements,
  • services spending,
  • organization structure,
  • engagement value objectives,
  • consulting alternatives,
  • sourcing and procurement challenges, and
  • internal category management strategy, maturity and practices

    This White Paper is 17 pages in length. Delivery is via PDF, and includes an enterprise license for the procurement organization and internal users for any size non-consulting organization.
