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.
