Initial Conversation
What needs
a better decision?
A focused conversation about your situation, what is at stake, and where an experienced outside perspective might help. You speak directly with Patrick.
BEFORE WE TALK
Bring the situation.
Skip the presentation.
A short overview of your product business and the decision in front of you is enough.
- A supplier strategy or production transition
- Cost pressure, margin erosion, or a difficult negotiation
- A proposal or regional sourcing tradeoff
- A team that needs coaching or sourcing discipline
- A need for fractional advisory or leadership
The existing Sourcing Risk Review is one way to begin. It is a 45-minute introductory conversation with no fee or obligation. Choose an available time through Patrick’s booking calendar.
