3DSE examines critical success factors for supplier and strategic partnerships.

Strategic partnerships play a central role in technical product development. Amid ongoing global crises, surging demand, escalating complexity, and mounting uncertainty—along with associated challenges such as supply bottlenecks—partnerships have emerged as a crucial determinant of success. They enable companies to optimize resources, drive innovation, and respond flexibly to changing market conditions. For a developing strategic partnership to be successful, it is important to keep several factors in mind.

3DSE examines critical success factors for supplier and strategic partnerships.

For a project in the automotive industry, we identified six success factors for strategic partnerships and co-development. In a second phase, we conducted a benchmark analysis for the company focusing on these factors: Which success factors need to be optimized to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of strategic partnerships and supplier relationships? Based on this analysis, we were finally able to make concrete recommendations for action, prioritize key levers, and define next steps.

We have compiled an overview of our success factors for you in this poster. You can download the poster by clicking the download button below.
