1 Understand the contract

Before you engage with any vendor, make sure you have a clear and detailed contract that specifies the scope, deliverables, timelines, costs, and responsibilities of both parties. The contract should also include how to handle disputes, changes, and risks. Review the contract regularly and communicate any deviations or concerns with the vendor as soon as possible. If the conflict is related to the contract terms, refer to the document and try to resolve it amicably.

If conflicts arise with vendors, addressing them should start with revisiting and thoroughly understanding the contract that was agreed upon. Carefully review the terms and conditions, scope of work, deliverables, timelines, and any other relevant details, etc. Doing so will help make better sense of the conflicts and help all parties refer back to the originally agreed-upon terms to find resolutions.

2 Establish trust and rapport

Building a good relationship with your vendor is essential for a smooth collaboration. You should treat them as a partner, not an adversary, and respect their expertise and opinions. Communicate openly and frequently, and provide constructive feedback and recognition. Avoid blaming or criticizing them in public, and instead focus on finding solutions and learning from mistakes. If the conflict is related to interpersonal issues, try to understand their perspective and empathize with their challenges.

3 Align on goals and expectations

One of the common sources of conflict in Data Architecture is misalignment on the project goals and expectations. You and your vendor should have a shared vision of what you want to achieve, how you will measure success, and what are the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder. You should also agree on the data standards, policies, and procedures that will guide your work. If the conflict is related to the project scope or direction, revisit your goals and expectations and clarify any ambiguities or assumptions.

In situations where clear-cut goals and expectations are challenging to define, adopting an iterative model with a fail-fast and fail-safe approach proves invaluable. This methodology facilitates swift course corrections and enables proactive conflict management right from the outset.

4 Use effective communication tools

Data Architecture projects involve complex and technical data flows, models, and architectures that require clear and consistent communication. You and your vendor should use appropriate tools and methods to communicate your data requirements, specifications, designs, and feedback. You should also document your communication and decisions, and keep track of the project status and progress. If the conflict is related to communication breakdowns or misunderstandings, use visual aids, diagrams, or code snippets to illustrate your points and verify your understanding.

5 Escalate when necessary

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you may not be able to resolve a vendor conflict on your own. In that case, you should escalate the issue to a higher authority, such as your manager, the vendor's manager, or a third-party mediator. You should do this only as a last resort, and after you have exhausted all other options. You should also inform the vendor that you are escalating the issue, and explain why and how you are doing it. If the conflict is related to a serious breach of contract or ethics, you should escalate it immediately and follow the appropriate procedures.
