Scouting for Innovative Suppliers
Data Collection: We start by collecting data from various sources, including supplier databases, industry publications, market reports, and trade shows. We engage in surveys or direct communication with suppliers to gather information on their innovations.
Market Analysis: We analyze the data collected to identify suppliers that exhibit innovation in their products, services, or processes. We look for indicators such as patents, awards, or industry recognition.
Track Record: We examine a supplier’s track record of introducing innovative solutions. Suppliers with a history of consistent innovation are more likely to continue to bring fresh ideas to the partnership.
Technology Assessments: We evaluate supplier’s technology and capabilities to determine if they align with your organization’s innovation requirements. We consider their investments in research and development and their alignment with your industry trends.
Collaboration Opportunities: We engage in discussions with innovative suppliers to explore opportunities for collaboration. This could involve joint product development, co-innovation projects, or exclusive partnerships.
Negotiation and Partnership: Once we’ve identified a potential innovative supplier, we negotiate terms and establish a mutually beneficial partnership. We support you in establishing expectations, innovation goals, and key performance indicators.
