Trust is crucial in #partnerships and everyone talks about how important it is to build it.
But trust is 💔 not enough.
Alignment and communication are prerequisites for performance, but let’s not forget about performance itself.
Today many supplier-buyer relationships are very much like partnerships 🔗, as they include extensive information sharing, co-#innovation, etc. Thus, insights from supplier-buyer collaborations are so relevant.
Now, where is the weakest point and the biggest divide ✂️ in views b/w suppliers and buyers?
Organization governance, which includes:
➖ Incentive structure
➖ Frequency of mutual feedback
➖ Agreed metrics to measure performance and track progress
Second weakest point?
Value creation and sharing, includes
➖ fair value sharing
➖ performance rewards
➖ financial health of collaboration
Alignment and trust are not enough if value creation, sharing and KPI tracking are not up to speed.
