Supply Chain Renaissance
human capital as a key enabler

Why a Supply Chain Renaissance?
Massive outsourcing in the early 90s led to the emergence of supply chain management. Information
sharing was the route to pursue to achieve better
coordination. In the last 20 years we have seen lots
of systems, but little sharing of information. Supply
chains are still silo-ed, and overall performance even
has slipped, due to globalization, creating longer and
more vulnerable supply chains. Moreover, companies struggle with finding talents that can deal with
the increasing complexity and dynamics. Due to
the challenges lying before us regarding resource
scarcity and emerging markets, effective supply chain
management will be decisive for a competitive edge
more than ever!
