Roadmap - The Extended Workforce: A Model to Accelerate Resourcing and Grow Value For Your Business

Talent shortages and quickly evolving skills needs are leading enterprises worldwide to rely on the extended workforce - from consultants under a statement of work (SOW) to contingent workers.

Yet, the current siloed approach many companies take to leveraging people and services resources outside of permanent hiring often hinders, instead of helps, progress. With the ever-increasing complexity of how enterprises get work done, companies should explore more innovative procurement strategies. After all, traditional methods cannot pave the path to optimised workforce cost capabilities, faster talent access or data-informed decision-making.

In this latest Procurement Leaders roadmap whitepaper, published in partnership with Allegis Global Solutions, we explore a series of key questions around the ways in which businesses source and deploy human capital:

• How are workforce requirements currently being addressed, and the business outcomes trying to be achieved?
• Why is this approach being taken, how can it be improved and what could be gained by taking a different approach?
• Does the key to unlocking real value and dynamism exist in creating a more responsive, intuitive and outcomes-led extended workforce strategy?
