The statement
What’s the problem?
- Supplying markets have concentrated – suppliers are fewer and bigger
- We are more and more dependent of rare / exclusive technologies, capabilities or capacities
- Buyers’ markets are becoming sellers’ markets
- Vendors might prioritize their customers, and grant them more
- We keep asking themselves which suppliers they have to choose
- Buying from strategic suppliers is the contrary than buying commodities
The intention of this webinar
EIPM believes that Procurement needs to:
- Change attitude with strategic suppliers
- Become more attractive to strategic suppliers
- Constantly ask ourselves how they perceive us
- Systematically survey that perception
- Build a methodology to do it
The synopsis of this webinar
The themes of this webinar are:
- Introduction
- Who are the strategic suppliers?
- Unveiling the hidden side of the relationship
- What kind of business opportunity are we?
- The easiness to work with us
- Our innovation capability
