Supplier Diversity Consulting

Picture

From program development and management to targeted outreach and training, we help clients improve supply chain and contract participation by historically underutilized businesses- small, disadvantaged, minority-owned, veteran-owned, HUD Section 3 and women-owned firms- through proactive, high engagement strategies in the areas required to build a world-class supplier diversity program.  

Aback of the specific objectives required for success on a supplier diversity engagement, we have identified four overarching objectives that guide our approach to supplier diversity consulting:
  1. Develop strategies that can increase the number and dollar amount of contracts with historically underutilized businesses;
  2. Develop strategies to increase the number of available and capable firms that can participate in the supply chain;
  3. Implement systems that minimize or eliminate potential fraud, waste and abuse; and
  4. Help historically underutilized firms become better prepared in the areas required for participation in the supply chain: Operations, Finance and Compliance.​
