Bridging the Vendor-Client Divide: Avoiding Research Redundancy and Taking Insights Deeper.
This talk seeks to focus on the push-and-pull of that relationship from the perspective of both the vendor and the client. How can vendors grow their circle of impact in an organization by building a relationship of trust while avoiding the perception of opportunism? How can clients help vendors provide quality, useful insights and recommendations while also providing a bigger picture of how their research fits into the organization? Ideas will be offered and questions suggested for how we think about this interaction, and how we can embrace both the difficult and mutually beneficial aspects of this crucial business partnership.
