168: Building Risk Tolerance without Losing Urgency w/ Margaret Gilbert and Anthony English

How can we work collaboratively with our suppliers to manage and mitigate risk?  That is the question I put to today's guests on the Art of Procurement, Margaret Gilbert and Anthony English. Margaret is the Director of Corporate Contracts Management, where she works with buyers and suppliers in all areas of procurement and contracting. Anthony has enjoyed a long career as an IT consultant working as a supplier inside both large and small organizations, and together they are co-authors of 'Contract Matters: Procurement and Risk: A practical guide for buyers and suppliers'.  I invited Margaret and Anthony on the show because I wanted to understand the supplier perspective, and the unintended consequences of some of the decisions we make!
