Instructions: Value proposition template – Supplier/provider opportunity Step 1 – Identify the supplier’s strategic objective (i.e. Provide hygienic water supplies). Step 2 – Note the supplier’s services/products (i.e. Purified water). Step 3 – Identify any problems or opportunities relating to the specific strategic objective (i.e. Supplier previously hasn’t communicated progress of disruption resolution, which meant you couldn’t accurately advise your customers either). Step 4 – How will SRM address this problem or opportunity? (i.e. A stronger relationship will build respect and trust, which means disruptions to service will be communicated better in future.) Step 5 – Identify the anticipated benefits. These can be financial or non-financial (i.e. Improved communication from us to our customers in the event of service disruption). Once completed, these templates will connect the strategic objectives of your organisation (the customer) to the value provided by good SRM. Use these templates to portray this value to senior leadership stakeholders internally, as well as external supplier/provider stakeholders during initial SRM-related engagements with them.
