When organizations come to me about their programs, it’s usually because they’re not getting the results they’d hoped for. They have the willingness and the elements of what can be a strong program, but it’s still not coming together. By deconstructing their program using the SDM model, they can readily see the gaps. For example, they might be experiencing challenges in finding small and diverse businesses. They may have the requisite internal elements, but they haven’t incorporated the supplier engagement and development program to get firms into their pipeline. Or they may be having issues increasing departmental utilization with small and diverse businesses. This usually indicates that their internal programs, specifically the 4 P’s, may need to be reviewed to ensure that each area has been addressed.
