Revised 01/26/11 Definitions • Degree of Fragmentation – Of the identified entities, is the good/service/opportunity that is being considered easy or difficult to discern as related to the strategy; is the opportunity centralized/consolidated or fragmented within each organization or business unit (e.g. DHR – 6 business units within a division). This is a level of complexity question. • Business Criticality – How critical is this initiative, does it have a big/small impact; who’s really got the biggest need, what is the sense of urgency, what are the contingencies/impact if this doesn’t get put in place? • Spend – Where is this buried, who else have you considered outside of PS, Spend Cube, and etc., why/why not? What is the market telling you for “like-sized” organizations in both private/public sector. • Risk vs. Reward – Is your initiative risky to both SPD and the end customer(s)? After assessing the gaps (participating state entities and etc.)/issues/market intel.; does this have a high/low probability of success as related to efforts required vs. the outcome? • Unique vs. Standard – Looking at your strategy, does this initiative come with “unique” criteria that requires a specific discipline or area of concentration? If so, the level of complexity should correlate to a higher degree of risk and implementation (Hospital Privatization effort vs. toothpaste?). • NIGP Codes – What are the primary and identified NIGP codes for this category/commodity at the 5 digit level.
