Webinar Registration: Utilizing Metrics and Science to Drive Unifying Relationship Actions - Creating High-Wide-Deep Strategic Account/Strategic Supplier Engagement

September 22, 2021 10:00 AM - 11:00 aM Central Time (US and Canada)

There is a difference between being integrated into a customer’s world as an integrated cross-functional account team and being unified with a customer as one cohesive/cooperative team. Facts and experiences have proven that it has become increasingly more important for strategic accounts and strategic suppliers to establish an even more mutually beneficial relationship. Most, if not all improvement processes, methods and practice innovations are primarily instituted by a one-sided approach through strategic supplier trainings. These trainings are focused on what the strategic supplier needs to do to facilitate a higher-wider-deeper and more mutually beneficial relationship, a one-sided effort to a more complex two-party relationship challenge.

It is now recognized that in this next era of relationship management a more willing, transparent and involved (engaged) customer may be the most critical part of the equation. This webinar will share the metrics (data) and science that when analyzed and applied can guide recommended two-party relationship-building practices. Success for all will ultimately depend on the enlistment of a customer’s leadership, supply chain and procurement teams to re-consider how they define and engage with their strategic suppliers. Answering the question of what each party needs to do.

Key learnings of this session include:
•Top three metrics and supporting science that drive relationship-building/unifying actions
•A unification relationship model between strategic accounts and strategic suppliers
•Methods and practices that will break down traditional buy/sell paradigms
•The need for greater transparency – what does this imply and require?
•Importance and role/involvement of each party’s leadership team

Sample templates will be provided to all participants.
