Approved doesn't mean ready: Are your suppliers ready to work?

Suppliers represent perhaps the single greatest risk and opportunity for your organization’s ability to deliver superior results. The responsibility for assessing, selecting, partnering with, and managing suppliers falls largely to procurement.

Many organizations face a challenge: How to bridge the gap between initial supplier approval and actual supplier performance. Supplier approval is an important milestone, but it doesn’t always mean a supplier is ready to perform. Changing project requirements, site conditions, workforce qualifications, and incomplete or outdated information can create a gap between approval and actual readiness.

Join experts from Avetta and The Hackett Group to explore how your procurement teams can identify readiness gaps earlier, validate suppliers in the context of specific work, and take action before an issue becomes a delay.

Join the session to learn:

• Why supplier approval doesn’t always equal readiness to perform
• How to evaluate readiness against current requirements, sites, and work
• Where information gaps can create delays and unnecessary manual work
• How leading procurement teams turn supplier information into action
