Becoming a Customer of Choice: How to Boost Your Supplier Relationships

Questions our experts will answer:

  • What are the best supplier relationship management approaches across vendor stratification, governance, tools/technology usage, performance management, risk management, and supplier-driven innovation?
  • What challenges are peers facing, and how do they overcome them?
  • How can organizations build guiding principles and frameworks across supplier stratification and governance?
  • What are common performance management and score carding approaches?
