At the heart of every successful project is effective cross-functional collaboration. However, many companies get in their own way in this regard. This is especially true in large-scale sourcing processes, in which many different inputs from various functions are involved.

Many experts with differing views and no common goal often lead to cross-functional deadlocks typically resulting in lower savings, inferior quality standards and unnecessary delays.

As an ‘impartial third party’, we ask the inconvenient but necessary question early on, make diverging interests transparent and steer the discussion. Based on our game theoretical toolbox, we support you in setting up a system to properly evaluate trade-offs and making them comparable by monetising them. Finally, we help you generate commitment to closing the doors on side-deals and to ensure sourcing from the suppliers that are best for your whole company.

Our approach ensures the success of the individual project, as well as future projects.

With TWS as mediators, potential deadlocks are resolved. Our objective and holistic approach makes it possible to systematically optimise sourcing decisions, paving the way to a smooth and sustainable sourcing process – now and in the future.
