“The Accordion Effect”
Like an accordion, if indirect service categories are left unmonitored after traditional sourcing processes are applied, they will expand overtime and sub-optimize resulting in lost opportunities.
HCMWorks has demonstrated that with a low cost “compression” program, the sourced category will retain is effectiveness and mitigate the Law of Diminishing Returns. These programs are designed to eliminate The Accordion Effect and ensure program optimization.
