Are you sure you really understand the difference between Procurement, Purchasing, and Sourcing? These functional areas, while closely are tied together, each of them play unique roles in the supply chain. I challenge you to rethink your procurement strategy and discover how perfect alignment between these disciplines can boost your company's profitability and exceed your internal customers' expectations. This chart shared by Tom Mills, explain the different activities perform by function and how are they related. If you find this post helpful, do not over think and Repost it! #Sourcing #Procurement #Purchasing #SupplyChain

I lean toward servant leadership because it emphasizes empathy, team development, and collaboration. In the increasingly disruptive industry of supply chains, it's crucial to cultivate a leadership style that encourages a positive company culture, employee well-being, and innovation. When we center compassion in our leadership, we make it easier to ensure that everyone at an organization has a voice. As industries continue to face disruption and uncertainty, clear and effective communication may be the only thing keeping companies from crumbling under pressure. #ServantLeadership #Leadership #Collaboration #SupplyChains

April 29th is National Supply Chain Day in the United States and we thought of no better way to celebrate with two of SAP’s best – Mindy Davis and David Vallejo. On this week’s episode, we dive into the evolution of Supply Chain Management, a coined term since only 1982, covering how supply chains have adapted to disruptions, the role of SAP technology in building resilience, and the impact of geopolitical events, like elections, on global supply chains.

The MV Dali container ship colliding with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, along with the earthquake we just witnessed in Taiwan, reminds us of the vulnerabilities of global supply chains. These unfortunate and devastating events also remind supply chain leaders of cultivating resilience. This Supply Chain Management Review highlights the evolving role of technology in building supply chain resilience because of the opportunities to use digital tools to proactively manage disruptions, identify alternative solutions, and attempt to maintain operations. #SupplyChain #SupplyChainManagement #Technology

If I weren't in supply chain tech, what would my dream job be? Broadway of course! While I don't have the talent to be on stage, I find myself constantly drawing parallels from each show to the business world.... from my seat in the audience. ;-) Here are my top 10 Broadway shows that offer valuable business lessons: 10. Les Misérables: Second Chances & Redemption "𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙖𝙢 𝙄? 24601!" Just as Jean Valjean transforms, businesses can foster growth by believing in employees' potential for redemption and offering second chances. 9. Six: Individuality & Avoiding Impulsive Decisions "𝘿𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙!" Highlights the dangers of rash decision-making and the importance of level-headedness. 8.  Kinky Boots: Diversity & Inclusion "𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚." Celebrates the importance of embracing diversity and inclusivity in the workplace. 7. The Lion King: Patience & Strategic Leadership "𝙄'𝙢 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙣𝙤 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚!" Simba's journey underscores the balance of patience & decisive action in effective leadership. 6. Dear Evan Hansen: Empathy & Building Strong Relationships "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙." Highlights the crucial role of empathy and understanding in fostering strong relationships and a positive work environment. 5.  Matilda: Initiative & Challenging the Status Quo "𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙧, 𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙞𝙩." Matilda's rebellious spirit encourages a proactive approach to problem-solving and innovation. 4. Wicked: Mentorship & Lasting Impact "𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙." Strong mentorship relationships can significantly impact individual careers and organizational success. 3. Hamilton: Disruption & Seizing Opportunities "𝙄'𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙩!" Emphasizes the importance of recognizing and capitalizing on opportunities in a dynamic business environment. 2. Hairspray: Adaptability & Embracing Change "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙮." Embodies the unstoppable force of progress & the importance of adapting to stay relevant in a constantly evolving business landscape. 1. The Greatest Showman: Authenticity & Self-Acceptance "𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚, 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙗𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙙, 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙄'𝙢 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙚."  Reminds us all to be unapologetically authentic, celebrating self-acceptance and embracing individuality in the workplace. *Ok, well this one isn’t on Broadway 𝒚𝒆𝒕, but I’ll be sure to see it in 2025 when it debuts! If you find yourself in NYC, I highly recommend catching one of these amazing productions. (Who knows, maybe there will be a Broadway show about #supplychain in the future… 😉)

Congratulations to the program graduates and thanks for your hard work and dedication! I look forward to seeing where your journey takes you next. #SupplyChain #FutureLeaders

Kearney works with the World Economic Fund to survey 300 operations executives. Here's what they found: - Only 28% of respondents expect regionalized production by 2030 - Just 1% have completely digitized operations - 23% believe they can have the necessary workforce prepared by 2030 - Only 15% have taken action to enhance performance, resilience, and sustainability. What do these results tell us? There's a huge gap between what manufacturers know they *should* do vs. what they are actually doing. Bridging this divide will be crucial if there's any hope to swiftly and effectively deal with ongoing supply chain disruptions. #SupplyChain #SupplyChainDisruption #Manufacturers #SupplyChainTransformation

🌎🌏Great discussions, great people! Day 2 #Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/ XPO in Orlando with some great interactions with peers in the supply chain community.   My highlight ☀ of the day:   Sharing a panel discussion with John R. Allen and Ryan Elliott. Koray Köse guided us to an insightful exploration of navigating global supply chain challenges in an era of polycrisis and multipolarity. He created a focus on the importance of strategic analysis of supply chains and the need for deep-tier collaboration to enhance resilience.  My three key statements:   💎First: Act tactically and think strategically, supply chain has momentum, and you can use it to create the future of supply chain.    💎Second: Every risk is also an opportunity to not only do things right but do the right things   💎Third: finally, think about your people, do not only just ask for resilience but create a robust network that supports, backs up and creates new opportunities by applying AI and digitalization.   💪🏻 It all starts and ends with people!
