Digital Transformation – Tips from the Experts
Por Sophia Harris MBA, Founder and CEO of Lau Global Consulting USA LLC
Transformação Digital is the adoption of technology to digitize your business model, innovate, improve efficiency and create value.
Global Supply-chains are facing severe disruption, exacerbated by the pandemic, rising tensions in trade relations, extreme weather, leading to rising costs, log-jammed ports, unpredictability, opacity and delays.
An example of Digital Transformation in this area would be the adoption of Supply Chain Control Tower Solutions enabled by Blockchain Technology, using digital tools along the chain such as smart contracts.
Digital Transformation enables:
- End-to-End visibility
- Access to real-time credible data
- A competitive advantage
- Lower costs
- Authentication & Serialization
- Machine learning, continuous
improvement
A case in point, for manufacturers of perishable items, end-to-end visibility can assist in the early identification of sources of contamination.
Recommendation:
- A balanced approach – as more jobs are automated, invest in digital skills development, training and a recruitment strategy aligned with your future digital business. Case in pointautomakers have invested heavily in software as their new source of competitive advantage and as such have sought to recruit more automotive software developers.
- Think outside the box. Walmart was forced to charter vessels to mitigate product delays.
- Partner with a Digital Supply Chain solutions provider such as One
Network, E2Open or Kinaxis. In the ‘New Digital Economy’, businesses will have to be digitally enabled, agile and transparent to be globally competitive.
