Our team is comprised of professionals with management acumen and leadership savvy that rivals that of some of the larger management consulting firms in the country. Our consultants include individuals who have been mentored by the likes of Stephen R. Covey, Peter F. Drucker, Harvard-trained professional negotiators, or have held senior leadership positions at Fortune 100 organizations.

With skills in Needs Assessment, Gap Analysis, and Instructional Design, our Management Consulting team is as adept at delivering seminars, workshops, or keynote speeches as they are in offering facilitation, coaching, or general consulting services in areas as diverse as customer service, sales, marketing (including internet marketing), strategy, negotiation, management, leadership, business acumen, and many other fields.

In addition, when a major Training & Development intervention is undertaken, we provide the necessary measurement instruments to validate the impact of the initiative, and to verify the objectives were met to the satisfaction of our clients.

As organizations develop and grow, they often find that their Procurement organization (if one exists) has not kept pace with the size and scope of their business. Alternatively, businesses often find themselves in need of a specialist for a specific category of spend but cannot justify full-time or long-term employment of such an individual.

OptiSource Solutions can provide short-term, contract or part-time resources to fill a gap in your Procurement staffing requirements, and can provide specialists that have the right experience and background for your specific category requirement, whether that be a more hands-on role or a part-time leadership role.

We can also provide strategic direction to your Procurement organization, either with a focus on specific categories or with an eye towards the overall development of your procurement team. We have provided services ranging from training programs to development of category strategies, to the overall design ofprocurement organizations and are able to completely outsource your indirect procurement activities should that be required. Since for many (service and non-manufacturing) organizations, the bulk of their procurement activities are “indirect”, that can result in our taking full responsibility for your procurement activities.

As experts in Indirect Materials and Services Sourcing, OptiSource Solutions stands ready to assist you with your Sourcing activities. We can help your business identify appropriate spend categories to source, develop sourcing strategies and identify the savings opportunity associated with each category.

We generally find that our clients have managed their direct materials much more effectively than their indirect spend — and therefore focus primarily on Indirect goods and services.

In addition to our Sourcing expertise, we offer ongoing Category Management Services, allowing our clients to maximize value while sharing the costs of Category Management across OptiSource clients. While we manage specific categories, your people are freed up to concentrate on your organization’s core competencies (such as the direct materials that go into your products). It costs you less to have OptiSource manage a category on your behalf – but you get a Category Manager who has the time to be a Subject Matter Expert – and who works on your behalf.

While we are comfortable working in the general Procurement arena, we feel most at home with Indirect Materials, and have uncommon expertise in the Technical Materials and MRO space.

Our people are as comfortable in the Parts / Maintenance Storeroom as we are in the Boardroom and enjoy spending time in both environments.

When your people talk to us about their favorite supplier or category, we’ll actually know what they are talking about and often have strong supplier relationships in place.
