How we work
1. Assess & benchmark
Understanding your current supply base
We begin by assessing the diversity of your current supply base, benchmarking you versus the industry.
Identifying opportunities for enhanced diversity
We map your current supply base against our network of diverse founders and innovators to identify potential areas of focus when it comes to bolstering your supplier diversity.
2. Search & select
Global search & curation
Having understood your current supply base, and the opportunities for diversity, we dive deep into our global network of 12 million startups. We curate a long list of potential solutions and perform due diligence on these suppliers to assess their suitability.
Pitch and selection
We coordinate RFP and pitch processes on behalf of your teams, inviting shortlisted companies to propose their solutions. We guide your teams through the process and support in the final selection.
3. Integrate & scale
Onboarding and integration
For most solutions, the selected supplier will be a relatively simple plug-and-play. We support in their onboarding process and ensure a smooth integration.
Our co:create process
For more innovative solutions that require a change to processes, systems or structures, we have a 3x3x3 Co:create process where we project manage the implementation on your behalf, over a 3-day, 3-week, 3-month fast-tracked programme.
