Many organizations spend years evolving their IT sourcing model. New suppliers, extended contracts, minor adjustments here and there... Until you reach a point where no one really knows: why are we doing it this way?
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.
