From Metrics to Meaning: Using Market Insights to Drive Supplier Performance

In today’s supply chain landscape, static metrics and reactive scorecards just don’t cut it. That’s why we sat down with Omer Abdullah —Co-Founder of The Smart Cube and author of Risk & Your Supply Chain: Preparing for the Next Global Crisis—for a candid conversation on how procurement leaders can evolve their supplier performance strategies.

🎙️ Watch the full webinar recording:

In this fireside chat, Omer dives into:

• The market signals you should be monitoring to assess supplier health (think financial viability, management churn, late shipment trends, and more).
• How to turn quarterly business reviews (QBRs) into strategic tools for collaboration—not just performance check-ins.
• The role of AI and automation in scaling supplier performance programs with real-time data and dynamic segmentation.

“You’ve got to look beyond what your systems tell you. Market signals and external data give the full picture—and help you make smarter, faster decisions.”

If you’re ready to move beyond the basics and build a more agile, insight-driven approach to supplier management, this conversation is packed with actionable takeaways.
