Digital Supply Chain Institute

Big challenges are resolved with bold partnerships, vision, and a focus on execution. This is where we are starting from. I'm excited to share that Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI) and the International Semiconductor Industry Group (I.S.I.G.) have launched the Supply Chain Constellation of Value (CoV) Working Group — a transformative initiative to redesign how supply chains operate across one of the world’s most strategically important industries. Over the next 12 months, this effort will bring together senior leaders from eight of the top semiconductor companies to co-develop supply chain structures that are more innovative, agile, and sustainable. We’re not just aiming for incremental improvement , we are shaping together with the bold visionaries what’s next. This comes at a time when resilience and adaptability are no longer optional, and the need for smarter, more collaborative models has never been more urgent. I’m deeply grateful to Salah Nasri for the opportunity to work together on solving this global challenge. Your leadership and partnership are truly appreciated.

As trade restrictions and geopolitical shifts reshape supply chains, companies are rethinking their global footprint. The era of centralized sourcing is evolving into a balanced approach—offshoring, nearshoring, and onshoring—to enhance resilience and reduce risk. Localized and diversified strategies ensure adaptability in an unpredictable world. Marko Kovacevic, Managing Director of the Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI), asks in this new Supply Chain Management Review Magazine article, is your business ready to navigate the future of supply chain deglobalization?

🚨 Big news out of the #semiconductor and #supplychain industry! The International Semiconductor Industry Group(I.S.I.G.) and DSCI have launched the Supply Chain Constellation of Value (CoV) Working Group. The new collaboration, grounded in DSCI’s transformative CoV framework, will bring together senior leaders from eight of the top semiconductor companies to develop next-generation supply chain structures. This 12-month initiative, which will focus on innovation, agility, and sustainability, will reshape how the industry builds smarter, more resilient supply chains. “The semiconductor industry is at a critical juncture where supply chain resilience and innovation are no longer optional—they are essential,” said Marko Kovacevic, DSCI Managing Director.

Supply chain resilience isn’t just about reacting to disruptions; it's about how companies can foster strong connections across assets and fortify networks to proactively prepare for tomorrow's changing landscape. By uniting stakeholders and customers, companies can build a Constellation of Value that balances cost, security, and compliance.

Marko Kovacevic so true – starting with the problem seems obvious, but in reality, it's often overlooked. Too many AI initiatives begin without clearly defining what should actually be solved. Great reminder of what really drives value.

Software Development Is a Supply Chain Process When we think about supply chains, we often picture physical goods moving through a network—from raw materials to finished products. But if we step back, software development follows a remarkably similar pattern. Raw Materials → Development → Delivery → Maintenance Raw Materials: Just like manufacturers need quality raw materials, software teams rely on clean, structured requirements, data, and architecture. Ambiguous specs? That’s like receiving defective parts—everything downstream suffers. Production & Assembly: The software development lifecycle (coding, testing, integrating) mirrors a production line. Efficient pipelines (CI/CD, DevOps) ensure that work moves smoothly, minimizing defects and delays. Quality Control: In traditional supply chains, QA ensures products meet standards before they reach the market. In software, rigorous testing (unit, integration, security) prevents costly failures post-launch. Logistics & Distribution: Just like goods need efficient transport, software needs smooth deployment. Release management, cloud delivery, and API integrations determine how well software reaches users. Aftermarket Support & Maintenance: No supply chain ends at delivery. Just as spare parts and customer service keep products functioning, software requires patches, updates, and user support to stay relevant and secure. Why Does This Matter? Bottlenecks Hurt Output: A weak link—whether in supplier disruptions or inefficient DevOps—slows everything down. Visibility & Coordination Are Key: Just as supply chains require end-to-end visibility, software teams need clear governance, collaboration, and real-time monitoring. Optimization Drives Competitiveness: In both fields, the best organizations continuously refine processes, leverage automation, and upskill their teams. This is exactly the kind of challenge I address in my work helping global supply chain organizations navigate digital transformation. From aligning organizational structures with technology adoption to designing governance models that break down silos, I focus on making transformation tangible, scalable, and sustainable. At the same time, I support startups as they build the foundations for growth—helping them develop the right strategies, technologies, and talent models to scale efficiently. Whether you're a large enterprise rethinking your digital roadmap or an early-stage company optimizing for speed and resilience, the key is the same: treat software development like a supply chain, and you'll unlock efficiency, agility, and long-term success.

I'm excited to join #PatrickNeyts of VECTRA and #RobBailes of Control Risks at #Ethisphere's #GlobalEthicsSummit to discuss practical steps to building a supply chain due diligence program. We'll cut through the regulatory chaos and talk about scalable ways to gather and use risk data to scale your program.

Global trade is evolving faster than ever, driven by disruption, innovation, and transformation. At the Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI), we believe that those who build the most effective constellation of value, leveraging technology, talent, and data, will lead the way. In partnership with our global community of experts and members, we’ve developed the 8 key elements of the 2025 Digital Supply Chain Vision, a roadmap for resilience, agility, and competitive advantage. This is just the beginning. The destination by the end of 2025 is unknown, but our commitment to reimagining supply chains is unwavering. Let’s shape the future of digital supply chains, together.
