Supply Chain Influence Checklist
YOU PROBABLY HAVE MORE INFLUENCE THAN YOU THINK
Discuss the risk and possible solutions with your (indirect) supplier.
HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE THE ORGANISATION IN YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN?
Enter into talks with the organisation where the risk occurs. Discuss the risk and see if you can reach a solution together. The CSR Risk Check provides useful tips for goal-oriented actions. Present these tips to the organisation.
If you feel you have to exert more pressure to address the risk, you may want to:
Assess whether the organisation is receptive to promises about future assignments or support in conducting training sessions.
(In case your company represents a large part of the organisation’s turn-over) use this as an argument for change.
Assess whether the organisation’s reputation benefits from cooperation with you, and would be damaged if you would end the relationship.
