Measure procurement performance on mutual trust with supply partners beyond savings claimed.
Designing Programmes to Build Mutual Trust with Supply Partners
An applied course in mutual trust with supply partners built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Savings claimed on mutual trust with supply partners at signature are frequently lost during execution. Most procurement disputes about supply partners originate in a specification written too quickly. The programme works equally well for those formalising the wider procurement and supply operations agenda for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for mutual trust with supply partners as they go. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this area of procurement and supply operations and under-invest in testing it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting supply partners, ready to be adapted internally. It treats mutual trust with supply partners as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Practitioner evidence points the same way: supply partners improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of procurement and supply operations ready to put in front of a decision maker.
