Challenges in procurement
Deliver more value within constrained budgets
Savings achieved in traditional model has hit roof
“Cinderella” function
Struggle to capture the full value associated with compliant processes & systems
70% 25%Basic level of maturity around “Risk management” – Risk is high in globalized environment
40%Low # of companies with clear digital strategies
Shorter cycle time, actionable insights , transparent & efficient performance

What is “Outcome Based” procurement?
Focus on the What rather than the How
Traditional model Outcome based model
A model where the Customer is focused on the ‘Desired Outcome/Results’ rather than prescribe how the results will be achieved by the Service Provider
Key characteristics -
• Focus on business outcomes rather than activities and tasks
• Use of measurable performance metrics aligned with the desired outcomes
• Model that creates a ‘Win-Win’ situation that includes rewards and risk

Examples of “Outcome Based” procurement
• 5000 contracts• Extract key contract terms
and other metadata• Project Timeline: 12 weeks
Traditional model
Outcome based model
• Need insight into Supplier contracts
• To analyze current supplier relationships
• Target Supplier Consolidation and Supply continuity
• Determine Average Handling Time per Contract
• Finalize FTE requirement to deliver project within 12 weeks period
• Leverage technologies such as optical character recognition, machine learning, and natural language processing
• Rapidly and securely identify key terms and other metadata
• Integrate data with analytical platforms to find cost avoidance and savings opportunities
• Delivers project in 2 weeks
• Focus on meeting project deadline only
• Doesn’t provide opportunity for Service Provider to bring value
• Provides flexibility to the Service provider to choose execution strategy
• Higher efficiency in Service delivery
• Better outcomes

Technologies are key to the approach
“Upstream” or Strategic elements
• Cognitive analytics,
• Crowd Sourcing
• Digital reporting
Source : Global CPO Survey 2016
And yet, only 40% of the companies has a clear digital
strategy in the procurement space
• Provide evidence
based options for
decision making,
using artificial
intelligence to greatly
improve accuracy
and speed of
execution
• 70% respondents are
focused on delivering
self-service solutions
• Increasing ‘Robotic
Automation’ ranked
2nd priority
“Downstream” or Operational and Transactional
• Self Service tools
• Agile platform like Tradeshift
• Network based technologies
• RPA (robotics)

Challenges making the approach mainstream
Although there has been traction in public and international sector, why
is it not yet mainstream...
• How do we define the “Desired Outcomes” – laying down the outcomes in
sufficient detail so as to ensure the requirements are understood and are
measurable.
• Balance Autonomy and Risks - If the outcomes are defined in such a way that it
affects Service providers flexibility and discretion to decide on how the outcomes are
delivered, the benefit from this model is significantly impacted. Similarly, it is pertinent
to clearly articulate the actual outcomes that will be contracted for, and fine balance
to be maintained, in the transfer of risk to the Service provider.
• How to measure the outcomes – Establishing appropriate performance standards
is critical
• How to price it
• Influencing the Mindsets - the very approach of defining outcomes, instead of
prescribing what is required and how involves a need to “Manage Change in
Mindset”. Lack of training or aversion to risk, can act as a ‘Showstopper”.

What customer gain with this model
Advocates of outcome based contracts point to the following benefits:
• Cost savings (savings of trillion dollars in US over next decade has been forecasted
in government healthcare spending)
• Efficiency (The World Bank has highlighted it as key area focus for procurement efficiency)
• Closer alignment of objectives between the customer and the service provider
• Increased motivation for the service provider to achieve the best outcome to
maximise its financial gain
• More responsive to customer requirements
• Greater efficiency in service delivery, through allowing the service provider flexibility
in its method of delivery and an ability to adapt to technological advancements
• Better outcomes for customers
