How do you assess quality?
Stakeholders often mean different things when they say they want quality translations, so quality really needs to be clearly defined by each stakeholder. Once you know what it is stakeholders are looking for in a translation, then you can set criteria to measure performance against.
How do you create ongoing value?
A relationship is a two-way street so make sure performance is measured on both sides – not just against the supplier.
