The selection process has a clear beginning and end. The end is defined by the moment all contract documents are signed and the Master Service Agreement is signed. The moment the sourcing advisor's role in the selection process neatly transfers and concludes all information, the transition and transformation process begins for both the client and the supplier.
When we manage the selection process, they are ideally placed to also support the transition and transformation as a QA partner. This delivers immediate added value: Sourceminds knows the requirements of the contracted services, the objectives, and the agreements made in detail. We understand the sensitivities, the important preconditions, and, as an independent quality assurance provider, we can now help the parties achieve a successful implementation.
What does Sourceminds bring to the T&T phase as QA?
- Seamless continuation of the agreements made during the selection process: no knowledge is lost during the transfer.
- Rapid identification and resolution of differences in interpretation thanks to our in-depth project knowledge.
- Objective guidance: Sourceminds monitors the process without self-interest, focusing on the shared result.
Effect on budget control and lead time
- Risks of surprises and misunderstandings are minimized, preventing project delays and budget overruns.
- Faster decision-making: Based on documented documentation during the selection process, this immediately saves time and money.
- Progress monitoring ensures that the client and supplier always have control over progress and finances.
When Sourceminds takes on both the selection process and the QA role in transition and transformation, a consistent and transparent process is created.
And after implementation, the "maintenance" between client and supplier begins: Contract Lifecycle Management... (in the next post)
