Current and upcoming Pinnacle Model® studies

Strategic Supplier Management

The most successful procurement organizations focus on value optimization - particularly with their most strategic suppliers - maximizing their performance, anticipating and addressing supply base risks, and jointly driving innovative strategies.

Services Sourcing Organizational Maturity

All sourcing organizations aspire to maximize business value while minimizing total cost of ownership when sourcing strategic and outsourced services – but it’s not easy given internal and external stakeholder needs, market disruptions, contract negotiations, and supplier management and governance. A Pinnacle-class sourcing model is efficient, agile, and flexible enough to balance a wide variety of needs and expectations.

Recently completed Pinnacle Model analyses

Contingent Workforce Management

Contingent Workforce Management (CWM) is a relatively mature area, and most enterprises are currently struggling to achieve benefits beyond cost savings from their CWM programs. A few best-in-class Pinnacle Enterprises™ have been able to derive better outcomes – including overall business and strategic impact – by effectively leveraging their contingent workforce programs to achieve desired outcomes. 

Innovation in GBS / Shared Services

Global Business Services (GBS) / shared services are evolving and becoming more integral to enterprise strategy. Their strong understanding of their business’ needs and deep foundation in service delivery uniquely position them to drive innovation, a key competitive differentiator for global enterprises. This assessment explores how a GBS becomes innovative.

Automation-led business transformation has been at the top of most organizations’ agendas recently, because an effective strategy to leverage intelligent automation (robotic process automation and artificial intelligence) can build sustainable competitive advantage. How do you maximize ROI and business value from your intelligent automation investments?

Sourcing Innovation

Innovation is an increasingly important capability for procurement and sourcing given evolving business demands, technology disruption, and a focus on outcomes.

Building Shared Services / GIC Talent of the Future

Talent has become a critical differentiator for GICs as enterprises digital adoption rises. This analysis explores how the most successful GICs are transforming while keeping costs down, improving operational metrics, and increasing satisfaction with their talent programs.

Digital Maturity in Shared Services / Global In-house Centers
