Implementation programme

This is about change in the market and hence will have to be managed as a programme. The following key steps have to occur:

  • Making the recommendations happen - work closely with the suppliers and public sector colleagues to implement the action plan;
  • Keeping stakeholders involved - very important that they retain ownership;
  • Implementation process - develop; monitor and review; and
  • Manage the benefits realisation - establish a baseline from which to measure and embed.

Ensure changes are being delivered

This is the reason why you are performing a strategic market shaping activity - without change you will not realise progress, benefits or success in the procurement processes for the market under review. Monitor and report progress to the sponsor and key stakeholders.
