SRM as a strategy for the immediate future … and longer (VIRTUAL)

During the early stages of the crisis, most procurement people were either securing vital supply lines, sourcing new requirements or pausing non-operational supply as their business needs dictate.

Yet each of these three activities called upon a new level of vendor engagement, really supplier relationship management (SRM) perhaps, even to the point where fast relationship-building substituted for process.

But how can SRM become a strategy more than a tool as we work out of such a critical time? 

What role can SRM really play? 

How do you justify an investment in SRM to a gruff CFO?

And what does your supplier need from you in return? 

And, ultimately, can SRM have a new calling as an integral part of our supply-side thinking to secure supply lines and business continuity (BCP) for the future?
