      —  This assessment will reveal how your organization compares to best practices and uncover key areas of improvement critical to your organization’s success.

  How does your indirect procurement (IP) operation compare to best practices in key areas? IP operations are facing increased pressures to reduce spending and justify their value relative to their direct procurement counterparts.

  COPC Inc. (a global customer experience consulting, training, and certification firm) and the Indirect Procurement Council (an exclusive group of IP executives) have developed an IP Self-Assessment Tool for IP operations with $100M or more of spend under management.

  This tool is free and based on the best practices embedded in the COPC Indirect Procurement Standard. The assessment will reveal how your organization compares to best practices and uncover key areas of improvement critical to your organization’s success.

  To use the tool, simply:

  • • Download the IP Self-Assessment Tool.
    • Download the associated Guidelines.
    • Complete the tool, with input from others in your organization.
    • Send your completed tool to info@indirectpro.com.

Our experts will then review, score and return your completed assessment to you. All submissions will be kept confidential, and your organization’s information will not be shared with others.
