Are your supply chain communications not connecting with C-Suite leaders?
by: Cynthia Kalina-Kaminsky
A recent survey, Wakefield Research for LeanDNA found both supply chain leaders and executives seek and rely on smooth supply chain operations to enable business.
Better yet, both believe supply chains do indeed drive growth.
The problem? “For 85% of C-Level executives and 94% of supply-chain leaders, their company’s top leadership is still skeptical of the link between supply-chain resiliency and business growth.”
A big sticking point that creates internal problems for your business.
Executives place responsibility to improve communications squarely on supply chain leaders.
Meaning, supply chain leaders need a secret decoder ring to successfully translate how tactical and operational supply chain actions impact strategy.
Supply chain leadership needs to provide trusted visual and audible logic to executives on how balancing sustainability goals, handling compliance and regulatory changes, and reducing costs without compromising delivery performance will enable the business to best handle supply chain disruptions and improve time-based and performance-based market responses.
This secret decoder ring language does exist, has been tested, and provides proven, effective communication. It is the globally accepted supply chain operations reference model that resembles Lego® -type building blocks you put together uniquely for your supply chains.
You easily illustrate your supply chain “how”, connections, and integrations - including where gaps are located in strategic levels as well as tactical and operational levels.
Supply chain communication using SCOR building blocks unveils:
exactly how supply chain activity directly links to the strategic plan
how changes driven by supply chains definitively solve executive risk priorities
understanding, even if not everyone is an expert in supply chain or operations languages
You can solve the communication problem holding back your business advancements.
You can rapidly change the existing fact that a “… striking 99% of executives and 100% of supply chain leaders acknowledge that supply chain leaders struggle to articulate the value they bring to the company” to a better fact of highly successful supply chain communication.
Learn the Supply Chain Operations Reference model language (SCOR) before your efforts are the latest in failed change initiatives due to lack of effective communication and lack of executive understanding and support.
