How to select an integrator, coach, and mentor?<\/h1>\n

Integrator, coach, and mentor selection should follow a strict, compliant, and verifiable process.<\/p>\n

The duration depends on the process and geographical scope. You should not spend more than 6 weeks to 3 months on integrator, coach, and mentor selection.<\/p>\n

The 4-step process for integrator, coach, and mentor selection looks like this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Requirements catalogue and longlist<\/li>\n
  2. RfI process and shortlist<\/li>\n
  3. RfP process, fit-gap analysis, and scenario modeling, including business case creation<\/li>\n
  4. Recommendation and decision<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Followed by contract negotiation and signature.<\/p>\n

    What are best practices?<\/h2>\n

    The shortlist should not contain more than 4 integrators.<\/p>\n
