05_Partner Evaluation Matrix
Selecting the IPD team can be supported by tools such as this example. Selection criteria can be publicized in the request for proposals, listed on a matrix, and assigned a weight. Those team members evaluating the candidates can record their scores and tabulate the results. In general, selection processes that use scoring have been shown to reduce implicit bias. Assigning values and weights to qualitative attributes, such as willingness to learn, can be tricky—evaluators should agree on what evidence should be used to assign a score. Criteria is organized into three broad categories: people/team, project-specific engagement, and commercial. Contractor B’s score, circled in green, is the highest.
