SupplyChain Magazine April 2020 | Page 3

FOREWORD W elcome to the April edition of Supply Chain Digital !

In our cover feature this month , we look at the biggest consulting companies worldwide and observe how digital transformation is shaping the future of procurement .
Also inside the magazine , we speak with Sebatian Chua , Head of Procurement at Health Promotion Board , to discuss the changing landscape of procurement and the supply chain space . In order to drive change , Chua believes there is no one way to innovate . “ There is no golden rule for innovation , we just have to try , learn , change and try again ,” he says . “ To innovate , we also have to accept that all things are difficult before they become easy . Innovation does not necessarily mean we have to achieve big things . It can start with this simple principle : think big , start small and act fast .”
Elsewhere , we examine what the future for automation in logistics holds . In a special report , we look at McKinsey ’ s “ Automation in logistics : Big opportunity , bigger uncertainty ” report , and explore some of the key ways automation is transforming the industry .
There are also in-depth interviews with Henkel , MasterCard , IMI Critical Engineering and Volvo Cars that you won ’ t want to miss !
Lastly , don ’ t miss our global Top 10 Supply Chain Schools .
