In this brief segment, the speaker outlines a paradigm shift in how large companies manage supplier relationships. From roughly 2000 to 2015, firms primarily decided what information to expose to suppliers, tightly controlling visibility. In the current era, especially among larger enterprises, the focus has flipped: companies now consider what they don’t want suppliers to see and instead grant suppliers greater access and capabilities. This empowerment enables suppliers to achieve better pricing, automate data‑entry tasks, and eliminate costly, time‑consuming processes that are more efficiently handled by the suppliers themselves.
