What do high-performing supply chain organizations do differently? According to Gartner research, they are strategic advisors to their C-suite and are reinventing their approach to customer enablement, sustainability, real-time execution and human-centric work design.
In fact, over the coming five years, 80% to 90% of supply chains plan to rethink these four areas of operations — but the high-performing ones have already started. This year and going forward, it’s mission critical to adopt new practices to pull ahead of the competition and become a supply chain of the future.
