Once the baseline reveals where inclusion and resilience can grow, the Pipeline activates those opportunities — transforming insight into equitable, strategic engagement.

The next step is to build momentum.

Build & Manage the Pipeline transforms data into opportunity—helping your team source smarter, engage more strategically, and strengthen supplier participation across all tiers.

This pillar activates your supply chain by creating predictable, measurable, and diversified pathways for growth, capability expansion, and competitive sourcing.

• Increased supplier participation and readiness
• Stronger alignment between sourcing needs and supplier capability
• Predictable flow of opportunities across tiers
• Expanded visibility into diverse and emerging suppliers
• More competitive bids and improved sourcing outcomes
• Stronger engagement from internal stakeholders
• Greater supplier representation across categories and tiers
• Stronger cross‑tier resilience through diversified sourcing pathways

A healthy pipeline ensures your organization is prepared for what’s coming—not reacting to what’s already happened.

With a structured, data‑informed pipeline, your team gains:

• The ability to prepare and vet suppliers proactively
• A more competitive and inclusive sourcing environment
• Greater flexibility in responding to disruptions or changing priorities
• Stronger collaboration between procurement, category teams, and primes

A more inclusive pipeline increases competitive strength and mitigates risk through broader participation.

Your pipeline becomes a living system—fueling growth, resilience, inclusion, and innovation.
