Supplier Management

Successful organisations realise that the way they deal with their suppliers makes a critical difference to their business.

Systematically managing the value secured from these suppliers is a major priority – effective supplier management can make the difference between being seen by your suppliers as a nuisance customer or as a high priority partner.

Four Pillars enables clients to deliver reduced costs and increased value from their supplier base through:

• Skills development for staff who deal with suppliers
• Assistance in developing the most effective strategy for key relationships
• Strategy implementation support to ensure targets are realised

Four Pillars Supplier Management programmes are led by David Atkinson, who has wide experience in senior procurement roles with a range of global organisations
