Delivering a Comprehensive Tool to Measure and Improve Supplier Diversity Across UK Corporates
Initially approached by a leading supplier diversity advocacy organisation in the UK, Teque was tasked with developing a portal for the organisation’s corporate stakeholders. This portal would allow stakeholders to submit meaningful data on their commitment to supplier diversity. When aggregated, this data would provide insights into how each company’s diversity programs compare to their competitors and offer a comprehensive view of supplier diversity within the corporate landscape of the UK.
Our client wanted to advocate for diversity, be able to measure it, report on these findings and build their client base of corporates looking to do better in the diversity space.
Our personal approach and understanding of this client stood out, driving us to a successful partnership.
Building a Benchmark for Supplier Diversity: Our work with MSDUK
Since 2006, our client has been the UK’s leading organisation, representing and certifying ethnic minority businesses. They have a commitment to creating inclusive corporate supply chains through resilient organisations taking a keen interest in collecting meaningful data about corporate commitment to supplier diversity. They promote diversity, innovation, and education to build a stronger, more powerful society with a corporate network including the likes of Meta, Intel, Apple, Barclays & more.Benchmarking Tool
Working alongside our client and Accenture, our team progressed with discovery. We needed to understand the target audience, users across various corporations and the questions they would be faced with. We also needed to be aware of the scoring methodology for these corporations too.
With Teque’s collaborative, result-driven approach, we created a tool tailored to our clients’ specific needs.
With this understanding, we were able to develop a comprehensive benchmarking tool that digitalised the existing framework produced by our client and Accenture. This also made the framework scalable. From there, our client would be able to iterate year on year from their previous learnings.
We are proud to have helped our client create the first tool of its kind in the British corporate landscape, collecting meaningful data from the world’s biggest names.
This partnership has painted an accurate picture of the maturity of supplier diversity and inclusion across the national corporate sector – ultimately allowing each member to compare their own results with their industry averages.
It made an impact – this tool was felt across the sector, incentivising corporate leaders to invest in supplier diversity while appreciating their strengths and achievements. It also allowed room for improvement for these leaders too.
