4. Internal Relationship
Team building – “the process of turning
a group of individual contributing
employees into a cohesive team”
▪ A “forced” process (such as using
external facilitation)
▪ An organic “creation” (such as
setting a budget, goals, timeline,
positive employee recognition, etc.)

5. External Relationship: Through a
Request for Proposal (RfP)
A request for proposal (RfP) is a solicitation, often made through a
bidding process, by an agency or company interested in procurement
of a commodity, service or valuable asset, to potential suppliers to
submit business proposals. It is submitted early in the procurement
cycle, either at the preliminary study, or procurement stage

stating the business case for the project and the need to be filled.

technical requirements and specifications upon which the proposed solution
must be based. Every requirements statement should include a "definitions"
section to ensure that all parties share a common understanding of all business
and technical needs.
The RFP Should Set Terms and Conditions. The RFP should state the expected
terms and conditions for solutions acceptance, including delivery requirements,
payment terms, and regulatory requirements.

12. The Proposal’s Challenges
Not all vendors with the appropriate capabilities will be interested in the
amount of business that are offered
Forecasts of future needs are uncertain, but they set the foundation for
credibility with the vendor
Rushing through the outsourcing process can lead to costs inaccuracies
and mistakes (→ amendments are costly)
Product’s quality must be of the highest possible level
Changes will require a single point of communication
Managing the end of a relationship is often viewed as adversarial and
therefore not addressed until a crisis occurs
The vendor’s team that wins often isn’t the team that services the business
relationships

18. Risk Management Beneficial Vendor
Relationships
Risk assessment consists of the identification of hazards and the analysis and
evaluation of risks associated with exposure to those hazards. Quality risk
assessments begin with a well-defined problem description or risk question.
When the risk in question is well defined, an appropriate risk management tool
and the types of information needed to address the risk question will be more
readily identifiable. As an aid to clearly defining the risk(s) for risk assessment
purposes, three fundamental questions are often helpful:
What might go wrong?
What is the likelihood (probability) it will go wrong?
What are the consequences (severity)?
• Regulatory
• Processes
• Culture
• Communication
