In every organisation there is risk attached to procurement decisions.
Mismanaged risk, create losses and cause severe reputational damage. A structured and rigorous evaluation process of procurement risks is not available, hence our recent investment in designing such a process tool to provide actionable data to identify and manage procurement risk, ‘Procurisk®’.
Procurisk® is an online assessment tool, which users can complete to receive a risk positioning status. We also offer the option of consulting-type support from Brian Farrington Ltd (BFL) to verify the assessment and be involved in the development of improved actions. This support is underpinned by our extensive international experience in the private and public sectors.
Procurisk® has twelve structured facets of Procurement & Supply Chain risk, including financial risks. These cover an impressive scope, namely:
- Financial Risks
- Contract Risks
- Supply Market Risks
- Supplier Relationship Management Risks
- IT Systems Support Risks
- Procurement Dependency Risks
- Intellectual Property Risks
- Pricing Decision Risks
- Vendor Risks
- Procurement Performance Visibility Risks
- Intellectual Capital Risks
- Contract Management Risks
