SRM Is Vital to Business Profitability

March 10, 2016
SupplyChainBrain

Real value is extracted when buyers and suppliers work together. Not surprisingly, businesses focused on supplier relationship management (SRM) lead their peers five to one in terms of value derived from their supply base. - Mickey North Rizza, VP of Strategic Services, BravoSolution

Being Safe Is Not So Easy

March 13, 2015
SupplyChainBrain
Analyst Insight: There is now a false sense of security in supply chain risk management. Sixty-eight percent of companies believe they are better prepared than five years ago, yet supply chains experience an average of three material disruptions a year, according to Supply Chain Insights. Supply chain preparedness is for standard risk factors, such as financial viability, natural disasters, product quality, globalization and outsourcing. But, what about other risks and the security of supply chain? – Mickey North Rizza, VP Strategic Services, BravoSolution

SRM - It's More Than An Acronym

March 13, 2015
SupplyChainBrain
Analyst Insight: Richard Branson said, "Succeeding in business is about making connections." Our businesses today have thousands of connections with customers, suppliers, and within our own enterprises. The sheer magnitude of supplier connections can be complex in a global business: thousands of suppliers x hundreds of interactions per supplier x at least one element to be discussed between two of the parties equals many connections we must sort through to get to the heart of our relationships and manage them effectively. – Mickey North Rizza, VP Strategic Services, BravoSolution

The Problem with Maturity Models in Procurement

June 17, 2014
Mickey North Rizza, Vice President of Strategic Services, BravoSolution
We're all familiar with maturity curves, but how helpful are they really? Telling a company how mature they are, based on academic factors, means next to nothing if it's not rooted in practical applications that relate to a procurement professional’s day-to-day work.

SRM Is All About the Relationship

March 21, 2014
SupplyChainBrain
Analyst Insight: The true value of supplier relationship management is not what you think. It isn't just about managing a bi-directional relationship between the buyer and supplier – it's about managing the extended supply network (customers' customers and suppliers' suppliers). In today's business, the best network of relationships achieves optimal results; thus, managing the supplier relationship is not only critical to success, it's mandatory if full value is to be extracted for both the buyer and the supplier. – Mickey North Rizza, BravoSolution
