Factors that will drive procurement expenses in the management consulting industry

  • The introduction of protectionist tax and trade policies in the US will majorly impact the pricing policies undertaken by the onsite service providers as well as their offsite counterparts who seek to enter the US industry.
  • Adoption of new technologies such as AI, machine learning, robotics, and predictive analytics is expected to spike training costs incurred by service providers to train their employees. This will potentially increase the cost of procuring services in the global management consulting industry.

Insights into category management strategies that will help buyers optimize their procurement spend

Optimizing procurement spend does not stop at getting the product from suppliers at reduced rates. Most of the buyers in the management consulting industry fail to realize that an impactful supplier relationship management is crucial to create avenues to save costs in the long run and also to facilitate effective category management in an industry that is characterized by price dynamism.

Acquiring the right mix of global and regional service providers

Buyers are advised to partner with global service providers who have expertise over vast sectors. However, if their local presence is weak or non-existent, then it is crucial to engage with regional service providers. It is essential that buyers should clearly separate the engagement with global and regional players to avoid service level overlaps.

Benchmarking service providers against industry prices

It is prudent of buyers to invest in benchmarking studies that will help category managers to enhance their knowledge about industry prices. These insights will help buyers to save costs and be in a better position to negotiate with service providers. For instance, while negotiating for bundled services, buyers can save significant costs by cross-verifying the rates quoted by other potential service providers against industry benchmarks.
