• Ensure vendors integrate cleanly into internal operating models, toolsets, and processes. 
• Maintain accountability for vendor performance without transferring ownership of outcomes. 
• Support sourcing decisions, renewals, and performance reviews where external services are required. 

Continuous Improvement & Modernization
