evolving market?
• The Neat ABC Segmentation of markets no longer applies
• Agility in the Supply Chain has moved from competitive
advantage to base capability
• Traditional supply chain are designed based on product/process
requirement (R&D/Mfg driven)
The paradigm shift is to design with the Customer
Value (Demand patterns) in mind.

9. Customer Focus
• Customers have more data, more choices and more power then
ever before.
• Customers and their needs are changing faster then before –
Neat segmentation does not work here either
• No matter how “plugged in’’ our customers are, they remain
deeply human and want to be understood and ideally delighted
Any business that sustainably wins and holds
market share today is fully focused on their
customers

Editor's Notes
In the past, Supply Chain was the unloved step-child of manufacturing – solid and dependable, but far from glamorous. At best, we were a cost centre to be squeezed! No matter how hard our Subject Matter experts focused on how to squeeze that last pallet into the truck, we struggled to get a seat at the table for the strategic discussions shaping the future of our companies.
Now, the world is shifting to digital and on-demand, thrusting us centre stage. The right supply chain for today’s rapidly evolving business climate can be the difference between profit and loss for our companies; this is our Cinderella moment!
In this session, we will look at what being a supply chain delivering true competitive advantage looks like, exploring the key challenges and opportunities:
Developing a customer centric organization (out of the ashes of an internally focused one)
Visibility of developing market opportunities and anticipating the commercial value of those
Building a true partnership with commercial to together deliver outstanding top and bottom line business results
Every day repeat the same 3 questions:
Who is my customer?
Do I understand his/her needs?
Am I delighting him/her?
