The New Rules of Strategic Supplier Management

Join Anders Lillevik as he explores how supplier management has evolved and why many organizations remain stuck in tactical, compliance driven SRM instead of creating real strategic value.

We’ll explore key topics like:

  • The difference between tactical SRM and strategic SRM
  • Why contracts and KPIs often fail to influence real decisions
  • The importance of internal stakeholder alignment
  • Key questions to assess your SRM maturity
  • The growing risk and visibility challenges beyond Tier 1 suppliers

The central theme was clear: supplier management should enable better decisions, real time visibility, and confident action when performance or risk issues arise. When done right, SRM becomes a strategic lever that strengthens resilience, drives accountability, and aligns suppliers directly to business priorities.

If you are evaluating whether your SRM program is driving measurable business impact or simply maintaining compliance, this replay is worth watching. It offers a practical framework for shifting from checklist management to outcome driven supplier strategy.

Whether you missed it live or want to revisit the discussion, you can stream it anytime.
