To optimize a global strategy with line of sight across these programs, a global broker arrangement is often a preferred route for governance. This choice is often driven by the company’s desire to implement an effective global strategy, which requires access to data, analysis and proactive decision making.

Complex requirements necessitate nuanced solutions and alignment for joint success.
