Common questions
We already have a program. Can you still help?
Yes, most engagements are with existing programs that have stalled. We benchmark, find the constraint, and rebuild around it.
How do you measure success?
Beyond spend: pipeline health, category coverage, supplier retention, and the defensibility of your reporting.
Do you help with Tier 2 data?
Yes, we design the prime-supplier reporting mechanics so Tier 2 numbers are credible, not estimated.
"LSP gave our program a backbone. For the first time we can show leadership a number we'd defend in front of a customer."
