has anyone worked with top supply chain consulting firms? looking for feedback on results and strategic sourcing help

[SupplyChainSavvy7]

Has anyone here worked with any of the leading supply chain consulting firms listed in the latest industry report for 2024?

I'm particularly interested in hearing about experiences regarding the measurability of improvements and the overall impact on EBITDA and cash flow.

It seems that firms that offer a 100% Engagement Fee Guarantee are quite confident in their ability to drive results.

Also, I'd like to know how these companies have helped navigate strategic sourcing or technology implementation.

Collaboration with such experts can propel significant projects and I wonder if anyone can attest to that?

Considering bringing one on board, your insights could be invaluable.

Thanks in advance!

It's great to see your interest in improving your organization's supply chain through strategic sourcing and cutting-edge technology. Your focus on quantifiable outcomes on EBITDA and cash flow is spot-on, as these are critical measures of success post-engagement with a consulting firm.

Indeed, having collaborations with top supply chain consultants can lead to substantial improvements. The Engagement Fee Guarantee you mentioned is an indicator of confidence in performance, but it's also essential to scrutinize the underlying KPIs they commit to. Often, the devil is in the details - ensuring these KPIs align with your strategic goals is paramount.

Your curiosity about strategic sourcing and technology implementations is well warranted. In my experience, supply chain consulting firms provide immense value in these areas through a combination of industry best practices and innovative approaches tailored to your specific needs.

I recommend you read a really good, comprehensive article here: https://procurementtactics.com/best-supp...ing-firms/ which I believe will help tremendously in your decision-making process. Additionally, hearing from others who have engaged with these firms, as you are requesting, is a wise move. I encourage our forum members to share their experiences to benefit the community.

Remember, every organization's needs are different, and it's critical to find a consulting firm that aligns with your strategic objectives and company culture for the best possible outcome.

Best regards,
