    Leaders struggle to balance efforts when building a supply chain analytics foundation and competencies

    The relationship between advanced analytics and supply chain excellence is undeniable. Leaders in supply chain have consistently credited analytics as a key differentiator to cope with complexity and capitalise on market opportunity. To follow suit, supply chain organisations are focusing on building strong analytics competencies. However, many companies are still on the early road to harvesting data and the successful use of analytics.
    In a recent survey, 74% of supply chain executives rated advanced analytics as one of their top two most important emerging technologies.
    In a Gartner supply chain survey, 79% of respondents said that they have developed training programmes to help their internal users with advanced analytics adoption

    Clarify supply chain analytics goals, secure talent and invest in technology

    Across industries, high-performing companies invariably share one commonality — the growing ability to leverage data and analytics to make better supply chain and organisational decisions. Supply chain leaders should focus on three areas when developing a solid analytics foundation: Clarifying goals, securing talent and investing in technology.
