Challenging market conditions often create tension in supply relationships, undermining the collaboration and transparency we need for successful outcomes.

Description:
Research by NCMA Contract Management Institute (CMI) and World Commerce & Contracting reveals a gap in understanding and effective communication between buyers and suppliers - a failure to address ‘the things that matter’. Our presentation and discussion will focus on the extent to which this is true for Federal contracting and relationships, providing participants with insight to practical ways that the management and control of market uncertainties and volatility can be improved.
