Guest: 👤 Miranda Humphries
Episode Overview:
🔊 In this insightful episode of The Payroll Podcast, host Nick Day sits down with Miranda Humphries to go deep on the one phase of payroll transformation that is most often rushed, most often misaligned, and most often responsible for implementations that fail before they even begin. The RFP process.
Key Topics Discussed in this Episode:
- Choosing the Right Procurement Tool: Miranda breaks down the difference between an RFP, RFI, RFQ, and direct award, and explains when each approach is the right fit for your business.
- Internal Alignment Before Going to Market: Miranda emphasises why payroll, HR, finance, IT, and procurement must all have a seat at the table before the process begins, and what happens when they don’t.
- Preparing Your Current State: Miranda explores why deeply understanding your existing vendor services, hidden costs, and data quality is the most important groundwork you can lay before running an RFP.
- Crafting Questions That Drive Decisions: Miranda shares how to structure RFP questions for maximum comparability, including the case for binary questions, weighted scoring, and a standardised pricing template.
- Holding to Your Decision-Making Criteria: Miranda explains why the single biggest mistake organizations make is abandoning the criteria they set at the start once shiny vendor presentations and pricing anchors enter the room.
