Collaborating with suppliers isn't easy - and it doesn't always come naturally either. One silver lining to the last 18 months is that there are plenty of opportunities to work together, whether procurement is helping suppliers or vice versa. If done right, those opportunities will become relationships that offer significant value for both parties well into the future.

In this episode of Dial P for Procurement, Lori B. Chennault, Jeanette Nyden, and Kurt Albertson examine the process of collaborating with suppliers ‘under pressure’ from three different perspectives: head of procurement at a large enterprise, contract negotiation expert, and industry analyst.

During a conversation recorded as a livestream with the Supply Chain Now audience, Lori, Jeanette, and Kurt share the following with co-hosts Kelly Barner and Scott Luton:

• How procurement can work with suppliers, through relationships and contracts, to make the best of challenging circumstances for all parties

• The role of formal contracts in setting commercial partnerships up for success without typing the hands of those involved

• Whether there is alignment (or not) between what leading procurement executives believe is important and what they are best prepared to execute

Let's face it: data is only as valuable to your supply chain as the prescriptive actions you can derive from it. And no one understands that better than RateLinx’s Nate Endicott and Andrew Hooser. We sat down with them to discuss the changing landscape of supply chain visibility, the value of a true solutions partner - and the resilience that only a start in sports can bring.

Although industries and supply chains are increasingly global, the cultural norms that prevail in each region vary. As we begin to work within those regions, it often becomes apparent that there are cultural differences at the country and even city or regional level. Each person has to be aware of their own cultural background as well as how those tendences align with the people they work with.

Jacinta Taliauli is a Senior Procurement Advisor at the Ministry for Pacific Peoples. Her parents moved from Tonga, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean with a population of around 100,000 people, to New Zealand before she was born. Although they moved so she they could raise her in a country with more opportunities, they still raised her in “the Tongan way,” a set of cultural values that combine flawless politeness, deference to authority, and a commitment to hard work.

In this episode of Dial P for Procurement, Jacinta tells special guest Kim Winter and co-hosts Kelly Barner and Scott Luton about:

• The importance of culture, understanding what we share and the nuances of difference between and within each geographical region

• How public procurement differs from private sector or commercial procurement

• Ways to attract talented young professionals to the field of procurement, and the benefits to be realized by having a culturally diverse workforce
