Veel organisaties groeien jarenlang in hun IT-sourcingmodel. Nieuwe leveranciers, verlengde contracten, kleine aanpassingen hier en daar... 
Totdat je op een punt komt waarop niemand meer precies weet: waarom doen we het eigenlijk zo? 

That's where a zero-based review comes in. in beeld. 

At Sourceminds, we use the ZBR as a strategic starting point to recalibrate the sourcing environment: 

What does it entail? 
A Zero-Based Review means that we assess every contract, supplier, and service from scratch. 
Not "how can we improve what we have," but "if we were starting over today, how would we structure it?" 

What are the benefits? 

  • Clear insight into costs, performance, and dependencies 
  • Identification of redundancies and inefficiencies
  • Control over contract obligations and risks 
  • A solid foundation for the next sourcing step—whether renegotiation, consolidation, or transition 

Our experience 
Organizations that start with a ZBR realize an average of 15–25% more value from their existing contract portfolio by structuring more effectively. 

👉 Curious about what a Zero-Based Review can do for your organization? 
Let's brainstorm—no obligation, but guaranteed to be insightful.
