As a project manager accountable for selecting suppliers, imagine a world where clients share data on supplier performance, on their adherence to schedule and cost, compensation events and volume of costed change requests.

This data enables insights into how the supplier relationship is likely to evolve, and the likelihood of project success.

Data analytics is used to predict who is going to compete for a contract and whether there will be an outright front runner. By changing the evaluation rules, you can level the playing field and encourage greater competition.

Then, as a bidder, imagine a world where an organisation can reliably predict their win probability before they bid for work. A capability that scrapes the internet for opportunities; identifies competitors and their strengths and weaknesses; and ranks the opportunities based upon the greatest probability of win … it begins to reshape how organisations bid for work.

It sounds like something from the Minority Report,
But these capabilities are with us today.

BUT Is This Approach Defensible?

It is fraught with legal and ethical risks which may, in themselves, cause significant delay to your project as well as reputational damage to your organisation.

Savvy bidders will attempt to game the system defeating the object of identifying the best value provider. It may ultimately lead to over-reliance on a few or one supplier. But it could also save organisations a lot of unnecessary expense and focus on those bids they know they have a good chance of winning.

Within this talk, Martin will walk us through the art of the possible, with its potential to transform procurement and bid management, and also explore the wide range of issues that must be very carefully managed, before you choose to implement it … or should we say, if you choose to implement it.

Webinar Objectives & What You Will Get Out Of It

• An overview of the risks and issues and how they may affect potential roll out.

Join Keera Godfrey for an hour-long webinar based on HRDQ’s workshop and assessment Team Effectiveness Profile (TEP). The TEP is a diagnostic instrument designed to assist groups in improving their output and work satisfaction.

• Reduce or eliminate problems that can drain a group’s energy.
• Maximize the group’s productive efforts.
