Much work has been done building good supplier relationship management (SRM) programs. As more companies embrace and adopt SRM best practices, it’s time to look holistically at the various best practices. Our research at APQC, conducted in partnership with experts Kate Vitasek, Bonnie Keith, and Emmanuel Cambresy, focuses on how organizations can improve their SRM results. APQC wants to show organizations how to move beyond the limitations of past thinking to embrace a more complete, aligned, and balanced approach to collaborating with their suppliers.
