Optimize your supplier selection - implement our strategic sourcing framework

Implement the ASTRA Framework: Amplify Strategic Targeted Resource Acquisition

We believe that successful strategic sourcing requires a structured and a data-driven approach. Our Strategic Sourcing Framework provides procurement leaders with the tools to optimize supplier selection, mitigate risks, and drive efficiencies.


The following steps outline the key components of our proven methodology:

 


  • Step 1: Comprehensive Spend Analysis

    Amplify’s framework starts with a deep dive into procurement data to uncover spending patterns, identify inefficiencies, and pinpoint cost-saving opportunities. 


    This process enables organizations to make informed decisions about sourcing priorities and supplier consolidation.

  • Step 2: Align Sourcing with Business Objectives

    Strategic sourcing must be aligned with overall business objectives. 


    Amplify helps organizations define sourcing objectives that balance cost, quality, risk management, and sustainability, ensuring that procurement initiatives support broader company priorities.

  • Step 3: Supplier Market Intelligence

    Amplify’s framework emphasizes thorough supplier research, leveraging market intelligence to assess vendor capabilities, pricing structures, geographic considerations, and risk factors. 


    This step ensures procurement teams engage with the right partners at the right times and for the right costs to ensure long-term success.

  • Step 4: Craft a Data-Driven Sourcing Strategy

    Amplify supports procurement teams in designing sourcing strategies rooted in data-driven insights. 


    This includes defining negotiation tactics, setting up supplier performance metrics, and crafting contracts that maximize value while minimizing risk.

  • Step 5: Build Strategic Supplier Relationships

    Effective supplier engagement is critical for long-term success. 


    Amplify’s framework promotes transparent communication, fostering collaborative partnerships that drive value beyond cost savings. 


    Negotiations are focused on mutual benefits, innovation, and sustainability.

  • Step 6: Continuous Performance Optimization

    The final step in Amplify’s Strategic Sourcing Framework is ongoing monitoring and improvement. 


    Leveraging procurement technology and analytics, organizations can track supplier performance, adapt strategies in real-time, and drive continuous sourcing optimization.

Talent is the single biggest factor in whether a high-growth company thrives or stalls. As companies scale, the challenge shifts from just hiring quickly to hiring the right people who can grow with the business.

In business, success isn’t just about having a vision—it’s about execution. Many organizations struggle, not because they lack ambition, human capital or intelligence, but rather they fail to connect the aspirational to the day-to-day actions. Why Businesses Fail Without Alignment Without a structured framework , companies often experience: Disjointed Efforts: Teams working on initiatives that don’t support or align to the broader organizational goals. Lack of Accountability: No clear way to measure success or failure. Strategy-Execution Gap: A great plan that never materializes into results. Resource Challenges: staff working on various projects and not aligned or allocated to the “right” projects. The missing link? A structured framework that ensures every step moves the business forward and you have traceability throughout your organization. That’s where the GOST Model comes in: Goals, Objectives, Strategies, and Tactics . When these four elements align, businesses can transform their plans from well-intentioned ideas into tangible and valuable results. Let’s break it down with some real-world examples:
