The POD Model: The mutually-beneficial model for buyers and suppliers which enables an increase in profit through commercial collaboration - Paperback

by Mike Robertson (Author)

This book answers some of the most challenging questions facing organisations in today's competitive marketplace such as how to create a collaborative contract in a scalable and cost effective manner, how to maximise pre-contract savings, reduce contract spend, reduce business risks and costs, increase revenue without increasing the number of assets sold and increase profits without selling for a higher price This book will challenge the way organisations currently engage when buying and selling, to offer a solution that could result in increased pre-contract savings for the buyer and higher sales booking figures for suppliers, increased post-contract savings for the buyer and increased post-contract supplier profits. Benefits also include reduced pre-contract costs for buyer and supplier and reduced post-contract risks and costs for buyer and supplier.
