Age of the customer changes how to
approach vendor risk
“Removing Bad” Approach
Objective: reduce risk to “zero”
Consider all risks negative
Use one treatment for all risks
Think about only internal
stakeholders/business impact
Key question: What can I do to avoid
any risk?
“Creating Good” Approach
Objective: actively manage risk to
business advantage
Consider some risks positive
Use multiple treatments
Make customer-impact a key
consideration
Key question: How can I use risk to
my advantage?
14. © 2013 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 14
Customer-obsession mean you need to
consider multiple kinds of supplier risk
Forrester Research, October 2013 “Understanding Software Options For Managing Vendor Risk”
15. © 2013 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 15
Each industry weighs those four risks
differently
› Examples:
• Retail
• Financial services
• Oil/gas/utilities
• Automotive
16. Emerging suppliers complicate the
risk picture
› Start-ups often lack the sophistication and/or funds to
properly secure data to client specifications
› Access to validated financial data often isn’t available
› Traditional definitions of financial viability don’t apply
› If we reject a vendor because it is risky, the business
user can overrule us and buy anyway
17. © 2013 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 17
Your big suppliers aren’t inherently less
risky, by the way…
How well do you understand your suppliers’ supply chains?
› Is there a reasonable chance that my supplier’s
subcontractors could hurt my supplier’s viability?
› What subcontractors does my supplier use?
› Can the supplier validate that its subcontractors follow
the same privacy/disaster recovery/compliance policies
that it does?
› How viable are those subcontractors?
18. A simple plan…
› Crystallize your suppliers’ overall risk with
a risk index
› Clarify your own risk tolerance
› Track supplier-related risks based on their
strategic importance to you
› Create a treatment plan for every likely or
critical risk
20. Clarify your own risk tolerance

Focus on risk treatment and become
fearless!
› As the Age of the Customer continues, rethink
your vendor risk approach
› Create a treatment plan to address any very
likely or devastating risks
› Use the treatment plan to collaborate with
product/business execs and gain advantage
with customers
