About Rhino Elephant Consulting
Experience on both sides of complex outsourcing relationships
Rhino Elephant Consulting supports clients and service providers with complex IT and BPO contracts, strategic supplier management and outsourcing challenges.
Our approach is built on 30 years of consulting and outsourcing experience across both the public and private sectors. From European tenders and international IT and BPO deals to the day-to-day management, improvement and renegotiation of business-critical contracts and supplier relationships.
Beyond the contract
A good contract matters, but ultimately value is created through execution.
That requires clear agreements, commercial insight and effective governance, as well as an understanding of the interests on both sides of the table. Especially when interests diverge, performance falls short or change is required, contractual agreements need to be connected to operational reality.
Rhino Elephant Consulting therefore combines contractual and commercial rigour with a focus on collaboration, trust and practical implementation.
The objective is not simply to manage risk, but to structure contracts and supplier relationships in a way that genuinely contributes to the organisation’s objectives.
Experience
Rhino Elephant Consulting’s experience includes:
-
strategic contract and supplier management in complex IT environments;
-
international IT and BPO outsourcing deals;
-
European tenders and commercial negotiations;
-
governance and improvement of long-term supplier relationships;
-
escalations, renegotiations and complex commercial challenges;
-
programme management involving business-critical suppliers;
-
coaching and development of contract managers, supplier managers and IT professionals.
Assignments range from major international outsourcing contracts to cross-government supplier programmes where continuity, commercial interests and executive decision-making come together.
Working on both sides of the table
Rhino Elephant Consulting works with both clients and service providers.
Experience on both sides helps us look beyond a single party’s position. What appears logical to one party may be commercially or operationally unworkable for the other.
That does not mean interests will always align. On the contrary. In complex contracts it is important to be clear about interests, risks and responsibilities, while at the same time looking for solutions that work in practice.
What others say about Rhino Elephant
The recommendations from clients and service providers provide a good picture of how we work: commercially and contractually sharp, results-oriented and pragmatic, while paying attention to both the business and human sides of collaboration.
Why Rhino Elephant?
The name Rhino Elephant represents a combination of qualities that are also essential in complex contract and supplier relationships.
The rhino represents strength, persistence and the ability to push forward when necessary. The elephant represents intelligence, collaboration and an awareness of relationships and context.
Effective contract management requires both: being firm on substance and interests without losing sight of the relationship.
