DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

The procurement strategies at many organizations lack the flexibility to adapt to radical changes occurring today. Gone are the days when organizations could have managed supply markets using relatively simple tools and techniques--e.g. RFIs, RFPs, bundled products and services, and multi-year contracts etc. Markets, nowadays, are disparate and expect vastly different methods to operate.

To endure the procurement challenges of this age, the Purchasing Chessboard is a broad framework, developed by A.T. Kearney, to address almost any supply and demand market condition. The Purchasing Chessboard is a compilation of insights and experience from thousands of purchasing projects performed worldwide.

This slide deck provides a detailed description of the 4 purchasing strategies under the Purchasing Chessboard and a high-level view of the frameworkâ€™s implementation. The 4 critical purchasing strategies include:

1. Leverage competition among suppliers
2. Seek joint advantage with suppliers
3. Change the nature of demand
4. Manage spend

Within the Purchasing Chessboard framework, we further break down the 4 purchasing strategies into 16 levers and further into 64 methods. All the 64 standalone methods in the Purchasing Chessboard present a unique differentiating tactic to work with suppliers to reduce costs and increase value. Each method maps to a specific lever, which maps to a specific strategy.

The presentation deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"I have used FlevyPro for several business applications. It is a great complement to working with expensive consultants. The quality and effectiveness of the tools are of the highest standards."

– Moritz Bernhoerster, Global Sourcing Director at Fortune 500

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.

I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.

Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.

Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world."

– Roberto Pelliccia, Senior Executive in International Hospitality

It is well worth the money to purchase these presentations. Sure, I have the knowledge and information to make my point. It is another thing to create a presentation that captures what I want to say.
