Summer is ending. 2018 is right around the corner. Is it time to start to plan the new year? Forge a strategy? Engage employees? At this time of year, we find many companies planning workshops to stimulate thinking on building a digital supply chain and igniting next-generation supply chain thinking. If this is you, we would like to offer to help. We have four opportunities for engagement. Here we share some insights.
Benchmarking. How do you stack up to your peer group? To leaders that you admire? The first step to building a guiding a coalition is benchmarking. Understanding where you are at is critical to forging a path forward. We are offering three types of benchmarking: planning, financial and organizational. How does it help? Use our Metrics That Matter methodology to look at improvement and performance. Use the information to set targets for a balanced scorecard. Analyze your DNA against a peer group in the organizational analysis. Understand inventory write-offs, impact of forecast processes, and technology satisfaction in the planning benchmarking.

Customer-Centric Supply Chain Research. Want to know what your customers value and how your organization’s performance delivers?
