FROM ALL THE
FAILURES, THERE ARE
MANY LESSONS WE CAN
LEARN ABOUT HOW TO
MANAGE A SOURCING
ENGAGEMENT MORE
EFFECTIVELY.
The success of a learning leader is
dependent on how we create an engaging
learning environment that produces
true performance improvement. We
all utilize training suppliers to manage
some part of that learning experience.
Since we are all accustomed to working
with suppliers, ideally, we should all be
well versed in how to get the most from
our engagements and knowledgeable
about what it takes to be great partners.
The reality is we are not. There are plenty
of war stories told from both buyers and
suppliers about failed engagements,
and why the other party was to blame
for a bad experience.
But I like to think that from all the failures,
there are many lessons we can learn about
how to manage a sourcing engagement
more effectively. My experience has
found that there are many more successes
than failures that come from sourcing
engagements, and the proof is in the fact
that sourcing continues to grow in the
corporate training market.
Here are some of the most valued
lessons I've learned in working with
| 52
learning leaders who've got the most
from their partnerships with training
suppliers. And remember, great
training organizations must have highperforming training suppliers.
1 | Treat suppliers as partners.
While suppliers fall under the category
of vendors in procurement vernacular,
the reality is the relationship between
the learning leader and supplier must
be viewed as a strategic partnership.
It's important they are viewed as a part
of the extended team of the training
organization and feel empowered to do
what's right for both of our businesses.
2 | Properly define and communicate expectations.
The most common behavior I've
experienced in successful supplier
partnerships is when the expectations
were clearly defined and articulated
up front, and a part of ongoing
communications
during
the
implementation of the project. Learning
leaders should never assume that what
they are requesting is understood
by the supplier when submitting
