“An expert is a person who
has made all the mistakes
that can be made in a very
narrow field.”
Niels Henrik David Bohr
Danish physicist who made foundational
contributions to understanding atomic structure
and quantum theory

Where are we going? Is the goal important?
Align with employee sentiments
Culture must align with desired outcomes
Supply chain groups and teams may have
their own sub-culture, while aligned in core
value with the larger organization

LOYALTY DOWN  CHURN UP
How can we hire and onboard faster?

TALENT CRISIS – NOW WHAT?
EFFICIENCY:
TOOLS AND SUPPORT
#1 question when getting an assignment –
will I receive the resources and tools to succeed?
How can I make somebody more productive?
Useful, meaningful information available real-time
DEFICIT OF TALENT
Grow our own
Aggressive training
and support tools
Support personal
development goals
Hire broadly
from underserved
communities
Do not throw more
people at the problem
Go for the best - don’t settle
ALIGNMENT
Information – multi-level and
multi-directional
Walk-the-walk
DUH!
WE ARE DEALING
WITH PEOPLE
Empathy, flexibility, support
Two-way communication
Make it fun!

Collaboration is The
Supply Chain Gold
Hire, develop and reward for collaborative
personality traits
Technology and Data focus go hand-in-hand with
People focus for outcome driven performance
Service-orientation must permeate the organization
It cannot only be upwards in the organization or
customer-focused
Not just result, but also methodology
Respect, cohesiveness and team-spirit
Imagining Supply Chains in 2030
IMAGINE 2022
Be your suppliers’ customer of choice
Collaboration wins - collaborative supply
chains are more profitable
52% lack of supplier collaboration is
creating supply chain gap
Keep suppliers healthy
Pay on-time
Be transparent about demand
Allow suppliers to make money

Are Suppliers Part
