P&G Seeks to Enhance Contracting process: Disrupting SOW

Deadline: April 30, 2024

Business Background

P&G contracts many IT professional services through Statements of Work (SOW). SOWs are written by project managers, many of whom lack SOW mastery and have no time to build one. In many areas, there are no should-cost models and benchmarking data to guide the SOW creation process, which results in subjective decision-making and sub-optimized project costs.

Business Challenge:

There are many technologies that P&G sees playing together to address this opportunity. P&G is open to investigating composable architecture if there is no solution to address this opportunity in its entity. P&G is not looking for Designs only (without the ability to implement).

List of technologies and benefits to deliver to the final solution: 

-AI/ML Should cost models: Righlty priced every time and for every project.

-Gen AI Assistant: Guide with on- deman expert coaching.

-Benchmarking: Always current, continiously improving, and comprehensive.

-Automation: Seemless, connected, consistent, and compliant.

-Digital Repository: Transparent and avaialable for insights.
