Supplier Partnerships in the Digital-First Economy

Nearly three-quarters (71%) of respondents to a Procurement Leaders survey want a collaborative approach to strategic supplier management. “Partnering with other businesses is all about the relationship — it’s not a case of merely making suppliers go through hoops,” said Joel Johnson, vice president, consulting, GEP.

GEP partnered with Procurement Leaders on this paper — Supplier Partnerships in the Digital-First Economy: How To Create Value and Drive Innovation — which outlines how technology enables procurement to act quickly, decisively and tactically.

What’s Inside:

• Moving from relationship to partnership by melding corporate culture
• Reassessing your collaboration criteria with a small supplier group
• Implementing a phased approach to achieve an elevated level of partnering

This paper is a must-read for procurement pros looking for fresh tools and tactics to improve their supplier management processes.
