A Hansen Fit Score Semantic Stakeholder Overlay is a diagnostic and strategic tool used to assess how well the vocabulary, concepts, and process expectations align across different stakeholders in a procurement or supply chain environment. It is grounded in Jon Hansen’s Strand Commonality Model and is integral to the Hansen Fit Score (HFS) methodology.
Above you will find the Hansen Fit Score Semantic Stakeholder Overlay, visually mapping how aligned different stakeholder groups are with key procurement semantic categories such as Supplier Onboarding, Scorecarding, Compliance, and Intake/Orchestration.
Key Insights:
Procurement Teams and ProcureTech vendors (e.g., ZIP, ORO, SAP Ariba) show high semantic alignment (≥0.75) across all categories—thanks to shared terminology and platform design assumptions.
Suppliers and Couriers, however, exhibit low to moderate alignment—especially in Intake, Compliance, and Contract Management—signaling potential misunderstandings and friction in implementation or collaboration.
Third-party Auditors align best in Compliance and Scorecarding, but diverge in other operational areas like Intake or Spend Visibility.
Greatest Points Of Semantic Disconnect And Risk
The Disruption Impact Heatmap (See Above Graph), clearly illustrates that Suppliers and Logistics Providers are the most disruptive points across delivery, SLA, and internal FTE impact—underscoring why managing strand alignment across third parties is critical to achieving optimal outcomes.
TODAY’S TAKEAWAY
“Success between Procurement and their ProcureTech partners is a necessary but insufficient condition. Only when Suppliers and Logistics Providers are semantically, operationally, and contractually integrated—using tools like the Hansen Fit Score’s Semantic Stakeholder Overlay—can the organization achieve a true, resilient, end-to-end outcome. – Jon Hansen”
