Webinar Recording - Facilitating Strategic Outcomes Through Enhanced Relationships with Suppliers and Internal Stakeholders

Overview

Leading-edge public procurement officials historically have relied on proven policies, practices, and procedures to add strategic value in a heavily regulated framework. As useful technology has evolved, these officials have effectively used data to make procurement decisions that are more logical, rational and objective than before. However, the question of how public procurement officials can enhance the strategic value they add through how effectively they interact with others has been largely overlooked. In this session, the facilitators call attention to how public procurement officials can optimize their relationships with suppliers and stakeholders by leveraging needed non-technical competencies. Attention is paid to the impact of individual and group biases on the procurement function.
