Supplier engagement more often than not results in low response rates and unusable data. Sound familiar? This podcast sets to solve this by breaking down:

• What’s happening today: Mass surveying, “one platform rules them all” and an unrealistic push for “universal primary data”.
• Where we want to get to: Data you can actually use.
• How to get there: Supplier contracts, blended procurement models, strategic upskilling, secure supplier data exchange (PACT)
• Key learnings from the transition
