An excellent book for all those who can listen and learn

BP is an excellent book for all those people seeking for inside information. To me it seems it was written for people who are willing to walk the talk. BP provides the reader with information about drivers towards partnering and the benefits of partnering but also of the threats if you don't select your partner right. Therefore it emphasizes the importance of selecting the right partner and offers first hand evaluation forms from successful companies giving you ideas how to do it right with your own company. The first step to walk the talk.

Breakthrough Partnering is loaded with contemporary examples ofsupplier partnerships and it contrasts them with the 'old time religion' of bidding, leverage, and voluminous planning. Readers should come away with insights on how to transition from their old tenets to a new-found faith in the power of teamwork in supplier partnerships. Robert W.
