A Problem Statement: The contractor sourcing
process
Single
Sourcing
§ Lack of competition results in defaulting to the max rates or budget ceiling
§ Limited (or no) visibility to multiple candidates and suppliers results in lower quality
resources
§ Limited supply channel effects quality of applicants
Inaccurate
Levelling
§ Suppliers often determine resource level based on candidate availability and budget
rather than job scope
§ Suppliers designate resource level, pricing the Resource to the budget
Poor User
Experience
§ Suppliers can influence a stakeholder’s decision regarding engagement (Temp v Contractor)
§ Confusing and time-consuming process to initiate a request, choose a supplier and release request
with no Procurement guidance
§ Limits ability to comply with new and changing business requirements

There are three constituents to the functioning of the programme in country
25. Contingent Workforce Programme Governance
1
• Ensures organisational alignment with programme
• Facilitates adoption
• Provides avenue for stakeholder input
• Escalates programme visibility and value to an
executive level
• Drives program maturity
• Promotes collaboration across divisions and
business units
• Focuses on continuous improvement and
programme success
Benefits of Governance
• Limited visibility and value recognition
• Stagnant programme growth/maturity
• Poor programme performance
• Ineffective escalation path
• Misalignment between programme initiatives and
organizational objectives
• Challenges with adoption/rogue spend
• Lack of compliance with policies/processes
• Ineffective communication approach
Risks of Limited Governance
The function of the governance team is to drive the alignment of programme strategies,
goals, and activities across all divisions within programme scope, and to ensure the
solution consistently delivers expected results.
26. Each participant is given a specific role and each role has defined responsibilities
Participants Responsibilities
Operational Execution (meetings, communications, tools)
Governance Team Structure
The Governance Team structure is designed to promote collaboration.
A governance model includes the following key components:

30. Governance - Operational Planning
1. Establish meetings – frequency (regular, ad hoc guidelines), format, content and attendees
2. Define reporting metrics (activity, KPI and SLA measures), frequency and format
3. Define meeting documentation and issue tracking approach and owner
6
4. Document escalation path – criteria for escalation, communication process and people involved
5. Agree upon programme improvement framework – forward looking framework that allows for planning,
expansion, performance improvement and proactive change; focus on org alignment to program
6. Create a Contingent Workforce Governance Charter – outlines objectives of governance team, roles and
responsibilities/RACI, operational guidelines and model; living document to be updated as changes occur
31. Governance Tools
§ Governance Charter
§ Program Strategy Roadmap (expansions, improvement initiatives)
§ Actions and Issues Log
§ Quarterly Business Review Template
§ Reporting Template
7
32. CW Governance Recommendations
§ Establish governance model at an early stage, prior to vendor selection if possible,
and ensure participation throughout provider selection and implementation
§ Identify and engage executive sponsorship
§ Ensure programme value is well articulated
§ Engage the right level individuals and ensure
stakeholder representation from critical functions
or areas of the business
8
§ Address poor group behaviors early (power struggles,
group think, lack of engagement/participation)
