Strategy Deployment in the Supply Chain

Friday 16th June 2017

This is how you get your team to:

Be aligned to the business;
Start to create value for the customer
Drive competitive advantage through supplier led innovation
Tried & Tested.

Strategy Deployment has been around in lean thinking organisations for a number of years as a way of getting employees aligned and delivering value for the business.

However, what we are seeing today is the need for supplier resources to be engaged in this process in order enhance the alignment and capability of our Supply Chain and therefore be ahead of our competitors.

So, how can I say this is tried and tested? Well because it is. In the past I have worked on numerous Strategy Deployment events in many organisations, they have driven change and improved organisational alignment more effectively than anything I have come across. But, without a doubt, applying this methodology and extending it to your Supply Chain is the most effective way to see a step change in the ability of your key suppliers to deliver against the organisation's strategic objectives, it is simply mind blowing.

So, if you want to remove some internal silos and engage your suppliers in cross-functional working, have a go at Strategy Deployment including your Supply Chain.
