We all want innovation – we ask for it in our contracts and negotiate it throughout the lifecycle of the agreement – but we are still falling short of innovative solutions to our current business goals. We hear from our suppliers that they want to deliver innovation to our business but their hands are tied by the customer. This presentation suggested a new approach to delivering innovation in your contract agreements starting from the very beginning of developing the contract through to negotiation and award.

Topics covered in this session included:

• What innovation means
• How to enable your suppliers to deliver true innovation
• How to identify strategic suppliers and assure they provide innovation
• The heat map tool for identifying what work to outsource
• The Request for Solution (RFS) solution for achieving true strategic partnerships
