Scenario planning can be a handy tool for "preparing for what we can't predict." See my Chief Learning Officer article: https://t.co/AOAbAJeTxH

It takes a different approach to persuasion when we need to #influence #suppliers and others with whom we’ll have ongoing interactions, and thus need to build strong working relationships. Here are three strategies that can help.

You can't improve collaboration until you've addressed the issue of conflict. See @VantagePartners colleagues Jeff Weiss and Jonathan Hughes article in @HBR & other curated resources for fostering successful internal negotiation and collaboration.

Companies face a barrage of competing demands on the path to economic recovery–from ensuring supply chain continuity to prepping for a return to normal. The key is forging new links of #collaboration across multiple nodes in the #supplychain. https://t.co/VbApSPEYxj

[Danny Ertel @DannyErtel]

Rather than “pulling up the drawbridges,” use well-worn #strategy, #planning and #collaboration tools to get ourselves AND our essential ecosystem partners ready for recovery. If we can’t succeed without them, get them on board. https://t.co/o4b379S5pe
