AUTHOR Van Der Wekken, Reitse
PUBLISHER Apress (12/20/2024)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

Manage supplier objectives effectively to align project and organizational success within your organization. This book introduces a dedicated method for suppliers to follow to ensure that all relevant targets and expectations are successfully meet. The method integrates a day-to-day high awareness, urgency, and focus on the management of all relevant objectives within the supplier's project to provide maximum benefit for its organization.

You'll learn that formal targets are routinely established at the start of a project and captured in a contract or project charter. Formal customer expectations, such as timelines, scope, and budget, have high focus and are often pitted against internal day-to-day challenges, such as cost increases and other unexpected changes. These challenges can seem even more daunting as a project progresses, especially when other stakeholders have expectations as well. When not managed properly, this can obstruct the focus of less urgent or informal objectives, such as employee development, process assets, and lessons learned, some of which provide a critical benefit for the supplier's organization and its future.

To combat this, you'll follow detailed instructions on how to handle such potential roadblocks and how to focus on achieving all relevant project objectives by applying the established method. Each chapter expands the dedicated method itself and provides insight into this philosophy. In the end you'll have all the necessary prerequisites for a successful implementation of these principles within your organization.

What You Will Learn

  • Define organizational objectives aligned with the organization's purpose and values
  • Prioritize and align project specific objectives with the organizational objectives
  • Facilitate to achieve the project objectives
  • Handle day-to-day challenges with managing the project objectives
