Lay the foundations for successful Supplier Collaboration with Vizibl Activate

The first phase of your Supplier Collaboration programme includes all the tools and guidance you need to set your team up for success. Our expert team of strategic consultants, change management specialists, and experienced project managers help you identify current performance, areas for improvement, and a strategic vision aligned to the goals of your business using a combination of interviews, out-of-the-box maturity assessments, gap analysis, and our “state of the union” report, enabling you to chart a clear course towards successful collaboration with supplier stakeholders.

Stakeholder interviews

The Activate phase begins with interviews with executive and operational stakeholders from across your team, your wider business, and your supplier community. These structured interviews provide both qualitative and quantitative insights that are used to inform our maturity assessment.
