Ep 206: Driving Successful SRM at Scale feat. Celia SGAR

Most procurement professionals will acknowledge that supplier relationship management (SRM) is a core part of value creation and risk management, but how many organizations are effectively carrying SRM out at scale to the benefit of their company and their suppliers?

Not as many as would like to be successful at supplier relationship management.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Celia SGAR. Celia is the co-founder of Vendor Score IT, a solution based on the premise that procurement can and should improve the way they manage supplier relationships and performance.

In this interview, Celia speaks about what she has learned by specializing in SRM:

• Why it is such a challenge for procurement teams to execute successful SRM at scale
• The levels of governance that are necessary to make sure SRM works for the business and suppliers over time
• The roles procurement may play - or share with other parts of the business - in strengthening supplier relationships
