SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY
“ Technology will help us to deal with the transactions, but you need a human to deal with the relation”
Javier Carnevali, Chief Procurement Officer,
Grupo Herdez
The solution requires sustained internal advocacy and clear communication about benefits and expectations.
“ We do a lot of selling of ideas and projects,” Javier goes on.“ That’ s a kind of internal barrier that you always have to overcome.”
The future of strategic collaboration Organisations that thrive in the realm of supplier collaboration are those that view it as a dynamic capability. Of course, this requires continuous investment in relationship-building and technology infrastructure that can adapt to changing market conditions.
Despite the obvious drawbacks, the convergence of geopolitical uncertainty, environmental pressures and technological advancement is creating unprecedented opportunities for organisations that can master the art of strategic supplier collaboration.
Success will depend on their ability to balance automation with human insight, diversity with reliability, and innovation with risk management.
