Navigating Supply Chain Disruption During the Pandemic
The importance of the supply chain during the pandemic is undeniable. Sensing shifts in demand and improving supply reliability are critical. Under normal times, the Return on Investment of S&OP maturity averages seven months, but in the pandemic, excellence in S&OP increases in importance. In our report this month, we share a Business Guide for supply chain leaders in the pandemic.
In addition, in multiple blog posts, we continue to stimulate conversations on supply chain excellence on many topics:
- Progress in Building Successful Value Networks is stalled due to many reasons. Blockchain was over-hyped and the current business models of technology providers are self-serving: a formidable obstacle to driving interoperability. We are continuing to host network of networks calls for business and technology leaders open to driving innovation.
- Insights on Managing Disruption when the New Normal is Disruption. Insights from interviews of supply chain leaders through the pandemic.
- Supply Chain Talent for Many is the Missing Link in Driving Supply Chain Excellence. We believe in diversity. Enjoy this light-hearted article on Should You Hire a Musician?
Due to the Pandemic and restricted travel, Supply Chain Insights is not hosting a conference this year. We are continuing our podcasts and posts on the YouTube channel. Reach out if we can help.
All the best!
