Deloitte business confidence report 2014: The gap between confidence and acti...Deloitte United States
America’s top business leaders are confident in their ability to outperform the competition. However, they are not acting with confidence when it comes to making business decisions or addressing specific obstacles, according to Deloitte’s inaugural Business Confidence Report.
For more on the #CXOConfidence report, visit http://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/operations/articles/cxo-confidence-survey.html
Companies that clearly understand the talent available in-house and effectively gauge the talent available outside the organization will be better positioned to access and obtain the workforce they need—this is what we call the ‘Supply Chain of Talent’ framework.
To gain a better understanding of your Supply Chain of Talent, KellyOCG compiled this research report with the Human Capital Institute.

Get ready for 2014 planning by benchmarking the financial performance of your supply chain. Using a database of over 50 metrics with 20 years of data, the Supply Chain Insights team can help you better understand your supply chain potential. This analysis enables visualization of company performance on managing the trade-offs of growth, profitability, inventory/cash cycles and complexity.
We find that each company has a unique pattern in how they managed trade-offs. The analysis helps you benchmark against your peer group and make a conscious choice. Through a deeper understanding of industry averages and outliers, this type of study helps you to better understand your supply chain potential. While many companies have used this service to understand public performance, many leaders have taken it one step further to benchmark divisions or product groups within their companies.

S&OP and Agility Study- Summary Charts - May 2013Lora Cecere
Sales and Operations Planning processes are now in their fourth decade of maturity. The processes are growing more complex. Progress is slow. The infographic below shows the current state of the union of sales and operations into S&OP processes. In this world of uncertainty, good planning matters. Complexity and volatility are escalating. Improving S&OP in a systematic approach, focused on goal evolution and systemic process governance, makes a difference; but, it requires education. A barrier to improvement is the executive team not understanding the supply chain as a complex system. It is the goal of this report to help alleviate this problem.
Get ready for 2014 solve the talent management equation with job competenciesHuman Capital Media
In a 2012 Bersin and Associates research paper, only 6 percent of HR teams rated themselves “excellent” in data analysis, while 56 percent rated themselves “poor." In school we all learn standard notation for math and how to solve equations, but we don't have that in talent management. We don't have it as a broad standard and we probably don't even define what our own internal "standard notation" is. While there is a wealth of data residing within the organization that might help us better define what "good" looks like and how to get there, elements like job descriptions or core and leadership competencies are not defining quantitative elements of our equation that align with the business side of our equation.
In this session, we will:
Review the challenges in defining talent management.
Discuss the elements in the talent management equation.
Describe how a job competency framework can balance the two sides of the equation.
Review three steps to implementing a framework to making sense of the data
Post Covid-19 Recovery: Building Better Supply ChainsLora Cecere
Today, supply chain leaders are facing a global pandemic and a redefinition of business models along with unprecedented unemployment. This time is anything BUT business as usual. The traditional supply chain, stuck before the pandemic, is unequal to the challenge. Today, I presented my thoughts on how to build better supply chains to the the Supply Chain Canada trade association.
Featured Presenter - Lora Cecere, Founder and CEO, Supply Chain Insights
In today’s increasingly complex and dynamic business environment, companies must have the agility to make fast, intelligent, and profitable decision. Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is a major pathway forward to make that happen. Recent research shows that companies that are more mature on S&OP have twice the levels of alignment and agility than their counterparts who are lower on the maturity scale.
Join us for a webinar with noted supply chain thought leader and author Lora Cecere to understand the steps to take and the pitfalls to avoid along the road to S&OP agility.
On November 19 at 9am PST/12pm EST/5pm GMT, Lora will address:
- The evolution of S&OP processes and how to build demand and supply processes that align with top-line business goals.
- The steps necessary to achieve the right balance between commercial and operations teams—the key to execution and achieving results.
- Which metrics drive alignment and how the metrics change as S&OP processes mature.
- How supply chain centers of excellence effectively manage regional and global governance to balance rising complexity and volatility with the execution of the plan.

2014 Talent Study - Summary Charts - 18 AUG 2014 Lora Cecere
Executive Overview
Ask any supply chain leader, “Is the management of supply chain talent important?” and you will get an overwhelming “Yes!” as a response. Yet, only 14% of companies rate themselves as doing better than their peer group when it comes to managing supply chain talent. Surprisingly, 43% of the survey respondents believe that they perform worse on the management of supply chain talent than their peers. The ratio is 3:1. Why the gap? There are many drivers, but the primary reasons are three: management support, recruitment, and staff development. The open-ended responses from the survey are shown in Figure 2.
This presentation gives an overview of the E Source Efficiency & Demand Response Programs (EDRP) service to electric and gas utilities. Adam Maxwell, Efficiency Programs Product Manager, covers the recent research reports on DSM programs, benchmarking studies, web conferences, member inquiry service, leaders calls, and LinkedIn groups.
Finally, members of the EDRP service get additional value from their service by attending the annual E Source Forum.

Managing Big Data - what every IT Executive Needs to KnowJim Vaselopulos
Effectively managing ‘Big Data’ presents huge opportunities for IT to deliver business value. IT can show tremendous value to the business by having a well implemented big data program.
BUT, the IT Executive needs to understand the limits and impediments to our human ability to process information. Without properly accommodating for our limitations, we diminish the REAL value we can provide to the business.
A critical look at three years of supply chain disruption. Using quantitative and qualitative research, Lora Cecere, Founder of Supply Chain Insights, looks critically at the factors within companies that drove resilience and the factors less successful. Companies that won were aligned, used market signals, decreased process latency, used scenario planning, and implemented descriptive analytics. Those that fared worse, had tight integration of supply chain planning to ERP, were not aligned, and were focused on a digital transformation strategy.

Today's supply chain processes are inside-out. Outside-in processes, using channel and market data, improve the time to respond. This presentation reflects two years of testing using machine learning to understand the impact on the bullwhip effect and Forecast Value Added.
Now in its ninth year, the Supply Chains to Admire analysis is a study of the progress of each industry sector on the balanced scorecard of growth, operating margin, inventory turns, and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). Twenty-two companies outperform their peer group, defining and exemplifying supply chain excellence.

Supply Chains to Admire is a data-driven analysis based on public reporting of manufacturing and retail companies. The research evaluates which public companies drove improvement while outperforming their peer groups on performance metrics and value for the ten-year period of 2012-2021. The 25 winners are a testimonial to supply chain resilience.
