OUR STRATEGY

Innovation and Resilience

Small businesses can pivot quickly, adapt to market changes, and provide flexible solutions helping corporations respond faster to disruptions and evolving customer needs
Entrepreneurs bring fresh ideas, niche expertise, and innovative approaches
Incorporating small businesses diversifies the supplier base, reducing dependency and mitigating risks in critical supply chains

Spending with small businesses fuels local economies
In 2024, corporate spending of $122.7 billion with small suppliers generated $202.7 billion in total economic output and supported over 828,000 U.S. jobs
This strengthens communities and builds goodwill for corporations

Clearly understanding RFP requirements is crucial to business health
Having a partner to assist in clarifying and responding to corporate bidding opportunities increases the chances of successful bid awards
Sulis supports operational strength to ensure business health after winning a corporate contract
By bridging corporate requirements with small business capabilities both corporations and small businesses have increased chances for success

Often, in the design and development phase of a Supplier Inclusion effort, a current sourcing professional is tapped for this role.
The addition of Supplier Inclusion to an experienced sourcing professional will provide a new perspective for the employee.
However, adding this responsibility to an already heaping plate will only result in poor results and frustration.
The best way to ensure both employee and organizational success is to utilize an experienced Supplier Inclusion Initiative development consultant to create an integration plan.
Once developed, the consultant will work with the identified integration manager to hand off the plan and consult when necessary.
This provides the best opportunity for success – internal execution combined with external development expertise.
