INSIGHTS
Our Consulting Procurement Chronicle – June 2026 begins with the following insights
The consulting procurement failures that cost the most don’t look like fraud, they look like compliant processes everyone signed off on. This insight maps the patterns standard frameworks miss, from incumbent protection driven by career risk to negotiation leaks, scope creep that becomes a retainer, and performance reviews written by the person being evaluated. It then lays out a four-stage independence framework that intervenes where the risk actually lives, across the full engagement lifecycle.

How to Mitigate Fraud and Ethical Issues in Consulting Procurement
Consulting procurement ethics failures rarely look like fraud. They look like compliant processes that distort outcomes. This article maps what standard frameworks miss and how to fix it.
Consulting procurement isn’t broken because people stopped trying, it’s broken because the tools never fit the job. This insight traces why spreadsheets, email threads, and homegrown RFPs collapse under a category where you buy thinking, not things, and what changes when procurement finally gets a system built for it. From fragmented spend and maverick sourcing to zero visibility on ROI, this piece shows what digital procurement actually fixes and how platforms like Consource.io help leaders take back control.

Most large companies have no idea where their consulting spend actually goes, and that gap is the reason Consource exists. In this short film, co-founder Hélène Laffitte tells the origin story of the company and the career that led to it. The video covers how checking whether suppliers delivered what they promised became a mission to bring visibility and control to one of the largest, least managed areas of enterprise spend, and why, as generative AI reshapes consulting, every stakeholder needs a single place to plan, source, benchmark, and manage what they buy.

Final Thoughts
This edition of the Consulting Procurement Chronicle – June 2026 delivers a clear takeaway: consulting can no longer be managed on instinct, relationships, and spreadsheets built for a different kind of spend. From understanding why traditional procurement breaks down in a category where you buy thinking rather than things, to recognising how the costliest ethical failures hide inside perfectly compliant processes, this month’s insights highlight where organisations must focus to bring visibility and control to one of their largest, least managed areas of spend. With purpose-built tools, structured independence across the engagement lifecycle, and a single place to plan, source, benchmark, and manage, leaders can move from chasing consulting to genuinely managing it, ensuring every engagement delivers measurable and lasting impact.
