The document outlines 5 supply chain "maxims" for high performance in the coming decade: 1) build in customer service excellence, 2) reduce unprofitable complexity in customers and products, 3) design, plan, and execute for agility, 4) synchronize and integrate to eliminate waste, and 5) collaborate to leverage performance. It argues that structural flexibility, configuring supply chains through rules and engagement, end-to-end integration, and designing for resilience will be key capabilities. Adopting these maxims and capabilities can help companies manage complexity for profitability and align with customers and suppliers for co-created value.

5. Business @ the speed of thought
“If the 1980’s were about quality and the 1990’s
about re-engineering, then the 2000’s will be about
velocity”
Bill Gates, 1999 “Business @ the speed of thought”
“Conventional retail is flat but multi-channel sales
are growing at 20% - the marketplace is being
transformed”

6. Multi / Omni channel – creative destruction Joseph
Schumpeter (1942)
Schumpeter’s big idea
• Economic growth is
driven by replacing
former trading models
• Overcoming monopolies
such as the high street
• Some big losers as well
as winners

7. Radical thinking is needed – its about mindset
– “My argument is the more difficult the economic
times, the more one is tempted to retrench, the more
radical innovation becomes the only way forward.
In a discontinuous world, only radical innovation
will create wealth”
Professor Gary Hamel - London Business School
and the World’s leading expert on business strategy (Fortune Magazine)
