Align Your Stars

Crisis or no crisis, your strategy needs regular review. What consumers want, in both products and services, changes regularly. The competition is changing the rules of the game for you. Or the local government may do that, for better or worse. In any case, your Supply Chain needs to keep pace with your customers and stay ahead of the competition.

These days, for many businesses this means going through a digital transformation. Analog processes can be made more efficient (faster and cheaper) and more customer centric by leveraging advanced technological solutions. Yet, technology is not the only answer to the digital transformation question. First and foremost, a business needs to understand the needs of its customers, the trends in the market, and its own strengths and weaknesses, to ensure it designs and deploys the right process… one that will deliver a competitive advantage (in combination with the right product, pricing and marketing). Using a digital approach in that design makes a lot of sense, but digitalizing the wrong process will only cost time, energy and money.

VDH Consulting can partner with you to understand what is the right direction for you, and how to align your stars. What are critical priorities right now, and how do you get ready for the near future?

Near future because the days of running the same Supply Chain for 5 or 10 years are most certainly over. Now, your Supply Chain needs to be resilient (meaning flexible ánd reliable) and agile, to deliver the services and performance your customers want, every time. At the same time, it is unlikely that all your customers are demanding the same services and performance from your Supply Chain. Therefore, differentiation is another key element in the overall design, and VDH Consulting can help you understand what that looks like without driving up complexity and cost unnecessarily.
