been doing more to innovate their supply chains?

Post by tasmih1234 »

When prioritizing steps in the innovation process what is the key to remaining focused on the problem (and not your perception of the problem/opportunity)?

Customer/client/user centricity is important. The organization needs to have someone leading the project who has intimate customer knowledge. Don’t leave design or implementation to “technocrats.”

In your research, have you noticed any industries that have

Past award winners and finalists for CSCMP’s Supply Chain Innovation Award represent a wide array of industries, but many seem to come from retail, CPG, and electronics. There have also been some interesting ones in health care networks (including hospitals as well as distributors).

In your experience, what is one factor you have seen conduit cn mobile numbers list repeatedly that prevents improvements and innovations in the supply chain?

Fear, or “risk aversion.” Real innovation always involves taking a risk, and supply chain folks are trained and motivated to value stability, consistency, and predictability. It often takes a crisis or burning platform in order to get folks to overcome their risk aversion.

Is there one common thing that successful supply chain innovation plans have that might not be so obvious?

The thing that is unique about supply chain innovation as opposed to innovation in general is that it almost always involves partners. Some managers and organizations are better at taking the long view in managing these partnerships. Some have greater capability in managing collaborations, and this is a multifaceted ability that is influenced by culture, experience, technology, etc. It is a difficult capability to intentionally grow. Consequently, it is a powerful basis for competitive advantage through innovation.
