Business models change rapidly, requiring flexible and responsive supply chains. Many supply chain organizations can’t see the disruptions coming because information is fractured and disconnected. As a chief supply chain officer (CSCO), how do you cope with the pressure to foster innovation while delivering profitable business results?
Whether you’re trying to innovate your supply chain operations, enable a deep transformation or expand on your current digital initiatives, Gartner helps you determine how and where to concentrate your efforts, from technology to leadership, and deliver sustainable commercial success.
From new product development to servicing new customers, change is one of the few constants in supply chain. Research from Gartner’s 2019 CEO and Senior Executives Survey supports this, with 87% of survey respondents identifying that they expect some form of change to their business model by 2021.
CSCOs around the world must determine how to respond to potential shifts in U.S. trade policy. This research helps CSCOs, responsible for network strategy for the Americas, to evaluate contingency scenarios while continuing with business as usual.
While some focus only on short-term mitigation tactions, top performers defy conventional thinking by maintaining focus on long-term strategy and implementing preconcieved plans when anticipated disruptions occur. Chief supply chain officers must prepare and lead through all manners of turns.
