What is sourcing assessment & strategy?

Sourcing assessment and strategy is a structured approach to evaluating how an organization acquires and manages its external services, capabilities, and partners. It covers every aspect, from sourcing models and supplier performance to supplier & solution selection and contract design and risk management. The goal is to ensure that sourcing decisions directly contribute to strategic objectives, operational resilience, and long-term value creation.

Why it matters
As markets become more volatile and business models evolve, sourcing must be both cost-efficient and agile. Organizations face rising expectations for service quality, digital enablement, risk mitigation, and sustainability. An effective sourcing strategy helps reduce operational complexity, strengthen vendor relationships, and ensure alignment between external capabilities and internal needs.
