Supplier Relationship Management Course
This supplier relationship management training course will help organisations improve their supplier performance, reduce costs, and mitigate supply chain risk, leading to improved operational efficiency and greater competitive advantage.
About the Course
Supplier relationships are critical to any enterprise that has significant spending with external providers. Leading companies have realised that it is vital to make sure these relationships are managed well – at corporate and interpersonal levels.
Your organisation’s brand in the market as a customer of choice accelerates competition and lowers costs. Conversely, having a negative reputation has the opposite effect.
This supplier relationship management course starts at the most strategic level. It shows you how to categorise your suppliers by configuration structures, importance, as well as how they view your organisation. We then explore relationships that span many people over long periods, and gain experience in key tools.
During our next challenge in the course, we determine how to measure the success of your supplier relationships using the Contract Scorecard. It is not enough just to have a good relationship; your organisation must derive value from it.
We then seek to improve your interpersonal relationships, not only with suppliers, but within your organisation as well. As such, our supplier relationship management course will require you to complete a conflict management profile to gain valuable insight into your values and behaviours. We take that further, and engage in a problem-solving exercise where your strengths (and weaknesses), and those of others in your group, are put to the test.
