Create Sustainable Metrics. Use a small, well-balanced set of metrics tied to SLAs and/or based on challenging yet attainable goals. Permit your team and the supplier to submit data to uncover misalignment.

Monitor Supplier Sentiment. Continuously review social and news networks to track positive and negative supplier market reputation. Just looking at the direct relationship can be a risk.

Build Empowered Transparency. Share a subset of nonsensitive feedback, measures and sentiment data with the supplier. Allow them to see it online, anytime, so they are empowered to make changes before escalations occur.
