ATKearney
A.T. Kearney is one of the world’s largest management consulting firms. With a global presence, spanning major and emerging markets, we provide comprehensive, practical and innovative consulting solutions for major organisations.
We are recognised as the leading consultancy in strategic sourcing and procurement. A. T. Kearney’s strategic sourcing methodologies are applied worldwide by industry leaders. Our “House of Purchasing and Supply” provides a detailed framework for Procurement Transformation and our ‘Assessment of Excellence in Procurement’ (AEP) is the most comprehensive global benchmarking study of its kind. We leverage leading edge sourcing technology and develop innovative, category specific solutions, that consistently deliver exceptional results.
For example, we recently pioneered the use of ‘expressive bidding’, enabling suppliers to bid in line with their capabilities, rather than against fixed requirements. Further efficiencies are gained with the application of ‘optimisation technology’. This defines the most cost effective allocation of business, and takes every constraint into consideration. This is particularly relevant for complex categories such as road transportation, MRO, print and packaging.
Our sourcing practice is characterised by:
- A proven ability to deliver rapid and sustained savings
- Experience of our staff, gained both in consulting and industry
- Our collaborative work style
- An ability to embed change through stakeholder management and skills transfer
- Our focus on strategic supplier relationship.
