Supplier Relationship Management

Sourcing Business Models

Today’s procurement professionals must manoeuvre in an evolving environment that is more dynamic and complex than ever. They must embrace and evolve with modern business needs, and more and more this means balancing what seems to be insurmountable, conflicting goals of reducing cost structures while driving innovation and mitigating risks. the business battlefields of this century will be based on harnessing the power of your suppliers. Tomorrow’s winners will no longer play yesterday’s competitive win-at-all-costs game with key suppliers. The playing field is no longer one of lowest cost or best value, but one of highly collaborative relationships with suppliers that can drive transformation and innovation for your organization. 

Why this training?

We need a hybrid approach for sourcing more complex initiatives. As organisations outsource and procure more complex goods and services, transactional views on relationships do not work. All too often buyers become co-dependent on suppliers, switching costs are high, and suppliers have a “locked-in” position. Each customer supplier relationship has its unique combination of components to succeed. It is time to apply sourcing business models that are purposefully designed to create value and drive innovation with suppliers. This training will help you map and manage the best fit sourcing business model for current and new customer supplier engagements.
