Shifting Dynamics of Service Procurement • Steps 2 Success is a procurement that is different to the shape of existing delivery models: • Milestones are changing; • Geographies are increasing; • Diversity of service delivery will be enhanced; • Innovation will be pivotal to success. • All of this means more pressure on working capital: • Revenue streams are pushed to the right; • Investment in solution and delivery methodology is required.
Moving Towards Payment by Results As services providers we face new challenges: • Uncertainty: • Payment is based on future performance; • Little or no performance history; • Future economic activity is unknown. • Risks: • There will be a funding gap; • If we don’t perform the gap will widen; • How do we know our forecasts are correct? • Structure: • Business might not be set-up for the change; • Working capital (and access to it) is critical; • How long since we really addressed our overhead?

Addressing These Changes • Good News: • There will be funding albeit a different nature; • We will have time to deliver; • Milestone recognition gives us more opportunities to achieve; • Upfront service fee or engagement fee will help; • Over achievement will be incremental. • But we MUST: • Innovate our solution; • Deliver performance; • Look at new sources of funding.
