• What is Opportunity Assessment (OA)?

Opportunity Assessment is the “best practice” process for identifying and prioritizing added business value and cost saving opportunities to build the case for change and developing excellence in procurement either at a category level or at a more strategic enterprise level.

OE starts with the spend analysis output data and uses this to perform a diagnostic. This incorporates all the non-financial information that is required to make informed business decisions such as:

• Category governance
• Supply market dynamics
• Business risk
• Key contract considerations
• Supply management influence

The diagnostic provides the information necessary for the prioritization of value creation initiatives.

• OA Output:

The spend analysis and diagnostic results should be considered simultaneously when generating the final prioritization for the value creation initiatives. typical opportunities highlighted include:

• Cost savings
• Cost avoidance
• Innovation
• Risk mitigation

The final OA output will provide a comprehensive view of your external spend allowing you to priortize your value creation initiatives based on what is important to your business.
