  • Supply chain management is adopting cost cutting, optimization, speed of deployment, agility and real-time process information and automation, with 21st century software leading the way—and as the economy begins to rebound, companies are starting to spend on software again.
  • “Companies are going to stay focused on lowering the costs of doing global business at the same time that they expand their sources of supply and volume of product—and they’re going to use software to do it,” says Collins. “We’re also seeing emerging market companies in countries like India, China, and Brazil that are beginning to bring product into consumer markets from outside suppliers. Regardless of where companies are operating, they are rethinking how their supply chains work. Some are opting to go to regional supply chain depots to hold parts. In this way, they can position more inventory closer to customers, and have fewer shipments. This all depends on the nature of the product and the cost of freight.”

  • Business attitudes across the globe — jarred by the European sovereign debt crisis, sagging consumer confidence and continuing market fluctuations — are vacillating between confidence and caution, and volatility is likely to remain a permanent feature of the global business environment. While the financial crisis revealed key vulnerabilities of an interconnected global economy, it has also provided a needed catalyst in helping organizations create more dynamic, resilient and responsive supply chains to. A clear majority of leading industrial companies still see cost as their main priority while managing supply chains, despite emerging evidence that excessive focus on cost has damaged relationships. A majority of the leading industrial manufacturing companies have created supply chain models that appropriately balance agility, sensitivity to risk, quality and cost. They plan to enter into more long-term contracts with fewer suppliers — with cost being the key driver for much of the collaboration. Read our report to find out how leading companies are adapting their business models and employing new supply chain tactics to manage risk while capitalizing on opportunities.

  • Social networks have become a critical, but underutilized, aspect of the marketing process, according to Gartner, Inc. Gartner analysts have examined the way social networks shape consumer buying behavior.
  • Gartner believes that it is essential for device vendors, application developers/publishers and communications service providers to understand how the different roles react to marketing information. For example, Self-Sufficients are not particularly swayed by the usual sources of marketing information, nor do Mavens typically act on the information that is their stock in trade. However, Salesmen, Seek

  • balance between efficiency and resilience is the key trade-off faced by supply chain managers, according to a recent research paper from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the business-to-business arm of analyst firm The Economist Group. Based on interviews with supply chain executives from Whirlpool Corp., Coca-Cola Co., Home Depot, Inc. and other companies, the paper highlights supply chain problems in the aftermath of the extraordinary swings in demand over the past two years.
  • According to a major IBM survey this summer, more than half of global business leaders believe their enterprises are not adequately prepared to handle a highly volatile, increasingly complex business environment. Based on a survey of 1,500 chief executives from 60 countries and 33 industries worldwide, IBM found that while eight in 10 CEOs expect the global business environment to grow significantly more complex, only 49 percent believe their organizations are equipped to deal with it successfully — the largest leadership challenge identified in IBM's eight years of research.
  • "[N]ow is the time for companies to reassess supply chain processes to ensure that progress towards efficiency does not boost the potential for failure in the face of economic, operational or environmental disruptions," EIU concludes.

Great Customers Inspire Great Innovations - 0 views

shared by ISM Silicon Valley on 04 Oct 10 - Cached
  • Solving the problem doesn't go far enough. Sustainable — transformative — innovation emerges from the ability to collaboratively explore alternative approaches. Watt, Carrier, and Intel didn't achieve their breakthroughs by solving problems for their strategic clients; success came from testing approaches with their clients. Whether business historians acknowledge it or not, that's equally true for Henry Ford, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs.
  • As the saying goes, the one thing history teaches is that we don't learn from history. Just because business history short shrifts the customer and client contribution to innovation success doesn't mean businesses should. If you want to become a more innovative organization, don't hire more innovative employees, acquire more innovative customers. Your capacity to innovate matters less than your customers' and clients' willingness and ability to exploit it.
