Prompted For Leadership Greatness: Volume 40, Evaluating a New Vendor/Switch-DV

Three prompts for evaluating a potential new vendor the right way, for managers who choose vendors directly. This volume walks you through vetting a vendor past their sales pitch to their real operating patterns, running a genuinely fair trial between your current vendor and a new one, and switching without creating a supply gap or a burned bridge. This is the Direct Vendor Relationships version, for managers who negotiate with and select vendors themselves.
