Bringing Back the Collaborative Business Podcast
The Collaborative Business Podcast aims to inspire listeners with practical insights into how to work effectively together in alliances, partnerships, and other forms of business-to-business collaboration.
The episodes in this series were recorded between mid‑2013 and late 2015. While some references may no longer be current, the lessons on inter-organisational collaboration remain highly relevant. I’ll make sure the show notes are updated wherever possible to provide current context.
The First Episode
In this inaugural episode I sit down with Anoop Nathwani, who, as of 2025, is one of my partners at Alliance Accelerator. In our 2013 conversation, we explore collaboration in strategic supplier relationships and strategic alliances, uncovering the similarities between the two.
Highlights
* What are strategic supplier relationships?
* How do they differ from traditional procurement relationships?
* How do they compare to strategic alliance?
* What should a procurement department do differently to turn relationships into collaborative ones?
* What should a supplier do differently to foster collaboration with a customer?
