• Whole team, and not just the key account manager’s commitment is required in building relationships with the client and become more customer-centric
• Caterpillar needs to understand how ABB operates to improve existing relationship and find new opportunities to add value
• Change in ABB’s position from a supplier to a partner can provide needed technical synergies and offer win/win opportunities to both of them
