Strategic Sourcing Guide to Industrial Relations Consulting Service Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Industrial Relations Consulting Service market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Consultancy market. The market is rapidly showing signs of a great divide - at one extreme is a low-cost market with almost commoditized services and at the other end is the market for high cost specialized services. Industrial Relations Consulting Service vendors are adopting starkly different business models and cost structures in an effort to address both the markets.

The concept of virtual firms is getting popular. By placing the entire infrastructure in cloud services, and utilizing a small number of physical offices, Industrial Relations Consulting Service suppliers are trying to cut their costs and developing cost competitive propositions for buyers.

In a bid to broaden their service portfolio, Industrial Relations Consulting Service service providers are heavily investing in advanced technologies and tools such as RPA, AI, data analytics, and blockchain. This trend has a potential to increase their OPEX and in turn, procurement costs for buyers in the short term.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Industrial Relations Consulting Service procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
