T he role of supply chains is changing at breakneck speed , driven by a worldwide business movement towards digitisation . Companies of all sizes are attempting to transform their supply chain and procurement functions , with varying degrees of success .
And while the arguments for digital transformations seem to have struck a chord with executives , implementation is not happening as quickly as one might have expected . A recent industry study found that while 83 % of respondents believe digital transformation will be impactful , only 5 % of respondents have highly automated processes .
With such a discrepancy between aspiration and execution , companies are increasingly turning to global supply chain practices to help them devise a pathway to effective supply chain transformation and digitisation , with Deloitte being a prime example .
Key to this pathway , says Dr Stijn-Pieter van Houten , Director Supply Chain Strategy
