Corven Consulting
What we do
Procurement transformation - sourcing execution and cost reduction
In the current tough economic environment most companies are looking for ways to deliver immediate cash flow benefits and profit enhancements. Efficient management of the supply chain, and sourcing in particular, is one of the quickest ways to deliver these results.
Corven differs from most firms because we deliver not only significant financial savings but also have the change management skills to build the internal capability for the longer term. We do this by working side by side with our clients to transfer skills, delivering financial and operational benefits to improve the credibility of Procurement. We also help build value add partnerships between Procurement, the lines of business and suppliers.
Benefits of our approach
- Corven takes accountability for delivery, not just advising the client on change. On major assignments, our clients do not pay for our team until the benefits exceed the consulting fees.
- We bring genuine expertise from experienced consultants who have addressed similar issues in the recent past – we know the market dynamics and bring proven approaches (tools and techniques) to deliver savings
- Every aspect of the proposed solution, from the systems and processes (hard issues) to the people and culture (soft issues), are considered
- Efficiency and effectiveness of action taken, methods used, and results achieved are all tracked and evaluated to ensure measurable improvements
- Communication and engagement of all staff is continuous to maintain ownership and, with it, the success of the project in terms of bottom-line impact
Familiar client dilemmas we address
- “How can we build a world-class procurement capability that is highly credible with its internal customers and its supply chain partners?”
- “How can we deliver proven cash flow and profit benefits in a rapid timeframe?”
- “How can we benefit from rapid changes in commodity prices/supply market dynamics?”
- “How can we leverage our scale across our multi-national business units?”
- “What is the total cost of ownership and how can we optimise design specifications to reduce costs?”
