The complex world of value
- Value for Money- Benefits minus sacrifices- Temporal element (whole life costing)- Perceptions of value (anchored as either low or high pricing
scales)- Value perceived by who?- Objective measures of value- Not everything has a £ value or can be assessed by CBA- People, planet, profit- Values (as opposed to value) adds further layer of complexity
Procurement’s value challengeStatus and relationships- Not involved early enough- Procurement’s position to challenge and influence- Everyone thinks they are a buyer
Infrastructure and functional maturity- ‘Let and forget’ approach to contracts- Market knowledge- Commercial transparency of cost across supply chain- Internal transparency of cost- Lack of data- Deficits impact rationality
Are we looking in the wrong place?
Early involvement
Strategic positioning
CONFLICT!!
Another way: Start at the end…
