Congratulations are in order for Greybeard Advisors, the Pittsburgh-based strategic sourcing and procurement consulting firm, which has been named a Vanguard service provider by Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory.
As our readers know, Greybeard Advisors president Robert A. Rudzki has been a valued SCMR columnist for some time now. Since Greybeard's founding more than a decade ago, the firm has consistently received industry recognition.
Kennedy, a leader in market analysis of the consulting profession, released its first-ever comprehensive assessment of 36 leading global firms in the Sourcing & Procurement Consulting category on December 30, 2015. Firms achieving Vanguard status demonstrate market-leading depth in particular capabilities or meaningful depth across a broad spectrum of services.
Kennedy's study also named Greybeard as the Best of Breed service provider in the area of Organizational Excellence—the ability of the consulting firm to design clients' procurement organizational structure, determine staffing requirements, align roles and responsibilities, and integrate procurement with R&D, production, logistics and sales activities.
Nice work, Bob. And kudos for all the team.
