Checks and balances
Are all these factors equally important in every phase from starting up a program or being in the phase ‘business as usual’? No probably not.
Is this list complete? Probably not either and let me know what you miss.
What is valid for SEI, also applies for Sustainability and Partnership programs
Further I would argue that these critical success factors are not only valid for a supplier enabled innovation program but also for a supply chain sustainability program and for a partnership or supplier collaboration program. Albeit all of these should be built on a strong foundation of methodological and cultural aspects of supplier relationship management.
If you are interested which methodological and cultural aspects, you can always contact me.
