3. How important is Supply Chain Digital Transformation?
In a recent study*, 337 executives from large manufacturing and retail organizations in over 20 different countries around the world were surveyed on how important organizations consider the need for a Digital Transformation of their Supply Chains
* A cross-industry study by a multi-national IT service provider

4. Progress so far on Supply Chain Digital Transformation
In the same study, executives were asked to comment on their level of satisfaction with the progress that their Digital Supply Chain Transformation efforts have shown so far

5. Why such a high level of dissatisfaction?
The vast majority of Digital Transformation initiatives fall into one of two categories:
Digital Transformation inside a single organization: For example how digital technologies transform internal ERP systems, Human Capital Management, Finance and Accounting, etc.
Digital Transformation between organizations and their customers: For example how digital technologies transform CRM, Marketing Automation, POS systems, E-commerce, etc.
But, a third category of Digital Transformation that plays an increasingly important role in today’s outsourced, globalized world, has so far, not got a lot of attention. It may just be the most important category of all.
