Strategy Alignment…

Strategy Design…

Strategy Execution…

How aligned is our supply chain strategy with our business strategy? How does it drive business strategy and support it? How does our supply chain strategy deliver to our customer value proposition?

How do we organise the business to deliver our strategy? What systems and structures are required? What supporting frameworks are required to help manage complexity and promote alignment? What supporting capabilities are required to enhance decision-making in our value chain? What are our people’s strengths and where should we focus our training efforts? Who are our heroes to manage the change/transformation?

What is our distribution model? Where and how many distribution points should we have? What assets and infrastructure should we invest in? What assets should we be looking to drive harder? Where should we source from? How should we flow in product? What channels do we service e.g. (online, retail, commercial) What is our range and how do we optimise this for the best commercial outcome? How do we ensure commercial sustainability and manage risk?
