Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 3
[All L4M6 Questions]

Francisco has entered a partnership with Pedro, who is a key supplier, and wants to ensure that the partnership achieves all of Francisco's goals. As well as qualitative and quantitative KPIs, what other measures could Francisco take to ensure the partnership is a success?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is 'Conduct regular audits'. This is explained on p.153. You wouldn't do an appraisal on a supplier in a partnership relationship as both parties are equal. Threatening a partner isn't good for the relationship and a damages clause would be used in a contractual relationship rather than a partnership.

Threatening termination (option D) seems extreme; I think fostering a positive relationship is more important than using threats.

I feel like having a damages clause in the contract (option C) could protect Francisco, but I'm not sure if it's the best measure for success.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think conducting regular audits could help maintain accountability, which might align with option B.

I remember we discussed the importance of regular appraisals in partnerships, so option A seems like a good choice.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll create the new Project Site, make sure the details match what's in the question, and then select the appropriate option from the choices provided.

Okay, let's see here. I think the key is to set up the server-side properties and enable the package server service. The client-side steps seem more straightforward.
