4 Sourcing strategy and understanding the core business context
4.1 Sourcing strategy
Aligning the structures and delivery of FM and support services provision with the demand organization’s business strategy is critical to successfully achieving core business objectives. It is important that the FM organization analyses the demand organization’s strategy. An effective sourcing process is important to achieve that objective.
Criteria that can have an impact on sourcing strategy include, but are not limited to:
— the competitive environment;
— value drivers (including cost/benefit analysis);
— the need for resource flexibility;
— business risk;
— reliability of supply chain / risk of over-reliance on single suppliers;
— operational interdependencies;
— availability of in-house FM expertise;
— the availability and capability of various supply options;
— corporate policies (e.g. environmental and corporate responsibility);
— regulatory compliance requirements and expected legal changes;
— organizational culture and management style;
— reporting requirements and management information systems;
— corporate targets on strategic and operative level;
— innovation;
— real estate and FM strategy;
— property portfolio.
