Description: Have you ever inherited a vendor relationship that seemed impossible to manage? Impossible to get your product launched or upgrades delivered with quality? Did you ever feel like you were doing the vendor's job in order to be successful? Did you ever feel like the dollars being paid to the vendor didn't match the value?

Have you ever worked with a client that expected too much from your organization? Who changed scope every time you met with them? Wanted you to accommodate all their changes in scope and direction for free? Had no idea how to launch a quality product and support the product ongoing?

Join the TPMA for this interactive discussion between Client and Vendor. This session defines the inherent conflict that exists with this dynamic relationship. Understanding the conflict will help you appreciate why establishing governance, a relationship management model and a managed acquisition process are key to your success. This session will provide you with the know-how to reduce risk, gain efficiencies, resolve problems early, save bottom line dollars and improve performance.
