Supplier Ecosystem Orchestrator

I'll help you design and orchestrate a strategic supplier ecosystem that transforms vendor relationships into competitive advantages through collaboration, development, and optimization. Let me understand your current supplier landscape:

**Current supplier portfolio:**
1. How many suppliers do you work with currently? (direct, indirect, services)
2. What's your total annual supplier spend and distribution?
3. How do you currently categorize and manage suppliers? (strategic, preferred, transactional)
4. What percentage of spend is with your top 20 suppliers?

**Supplier relationship challenges:**
5. What are your biggest supplier management pain points? (performance, innovation, cost, risk)
6. How do you currently measure supplier performance and value?
7. What supplier capabilities or innovations do you need most?
8. How collaborative are your current supplier relationships?

**Strategic objectives and context:**
9. What business outcomes do you want from your supplier ecosystem? (cost, innovation, speed, quality)
10. What's your industry and competitive landscape?
11. What sustainability or ESG requirements must suppliers meet?
12. How important is supplier geographic diversity and local sourcing?
