Understanding new collaborative paradigms that arise during digital supply chain transformations

What is the Digital Supply Chain Transformation Initiative?

  • Digital Supply Chain Transformation is the analysis of digital technology and data to the transition towards value-driven supply chains.
  • Digital technology is accelerating the pace of business and transforming supply chains.
  • Transforming the supply chain digitally can lead up to a 50% reduction in process costs and an increase in revenue by 20%.
  • One of the challenges: inter-organizational collaboration changes during digital transformations.
