Procurement services study series (Part 6) — Strategy Consultancies' market details and 4 provider profiles - Spend Matters

ersamoyor.blogspot.com

This installment of the Spend Matters PRO research series “Procurement Services Market Landscape Report and Directory” continues our analysis of six procurement services market groups that we’ve outlined:

• Source-to-Pay Implementation Providers
• Regional Consultancies
• Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
• Strategy Consultancies
• Global Consultancies (including the “Big 5”)
• BPO Providers

Part 1 highlighted the study findings and 34 providers that we’re initially profiling (see our services vendor directory to learn more about the providers and see the PDF profiles). Part 2 detailed how procurement professionals can use this information, and it gives more information on the six market segments shown above and the providers in those segments. Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 dove into the first three segments: S2P consultancies, regional consultancies and managed service providers (MSPs).

In this installment, we will focus on strategy consultancies that offer procurement services. There is a reason why we focus on the rarefied air of the top-tier strategy firms such as McKinsey, BCG and Bain (and Alix Partners to a lesser extent) rather than any large global consultancy that has a strategy practice as well as a procurement practice. These firms are unencumbered by formal vendor partnerships, and they also have CEO-level influence, so they, more than anyone, should be able to grow a strategically oriented procurement services business.

However, this is not always the case, and these firms (and others) are actually a bit of a canary in a coal mine for procurement organizations themselves to learn from regarding investment, digital, knowledge management, ecosystems and, of course, strategy!

There is a lot to learn from here, both for practitioners and also for other procurement consultancies, so let’s dig in.
