GOV21: FUTURE OF VENDOR GOVERNANCE ENABLING SUSTAINABLE OUTCOMES IN COMPLEX SOURCING DEALS

Outsourcing deals today are getting larger, more strategic, and more complex with converged IT, digital, and business process services. Contract terms are getting longer and multi-dimensional, reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. As a result, clients are paying careful attention to deal structuring and contract negotiation, ensuring they get the best deal. However, once the contract is in place and the transition is complete, many of them spend little time or attention ensuring that the service provider delivers to the terms of the agreement, in effect leaving enormous value on the table, unrealized.
