Leigh Merz, MRA Global, 8/22/2017

A consultative mindset especially can provide support for managing overall supplier relationships and navigating contractual best practices. In this post, Source One Consultant Leigh Merz recommends considering seeking talent that is not within the typical technical area and exploring candidates who are capable of being more strategic in general.
