1:40 PM Panel: From Tension to Trust: Fixing The Partner Relationship When Issues Arise

When issues emerge after a contract is signed, how suppliers engage procurement can significantly influence the outcome.

In this panel, procurement leaders will share best practices suppliers can deploy when challenges arise. 

Key takeaways:

  • Best practices suppliers can use when problems arise
  • Common supplier behaviors that build or erode trust
  • What procurement leaders want to see before, during, and after conflict
