Dynamic Supply Chains:
how to give customers
 and suppliers what they want
(FT Prentice Hall, Harlow).
This new book follows on from John Gattorna’s highly acclaimed book, Living Supply Chains (FT Prentice hall, Harlow, 2006). The book emphasises the critical need for a radically different business model post-GFC, and offers ‘dynamic alignment’ as that model.
The primary focus is on re-interpreting customers’ differing expectations, and using this insight as the frame-of-reference to design the internal cultural capability to respond in the most appropriate ways. The ultimate aim is to eliminate over-servicing and reward those customers currently being under-serviced.
Four generic supply chain types are identified and described in detail , on both the demand- and supply–sides. With regard to the supply-side, the aim is to reconnect suppliers to enterprise chains rather than operating with separate procurement strategies, unconnected to the front-end. New ways of segmenting suppliers are suggested, which are quite different to conventional methods.
In the end, Gattorna identifies and describes a limited number of ‘hybrid’ supply chain configurations that he amply demonstrates with real examples, and in the process de-mystifies much of the complexity that has built up in contemporary supply chains.
This is a book for the C-level, watch out for it!

Living Supply Chains (2006)
How to mobilize the enterprise around delivering
what your customers want.
FT Prentice Hall, London 2006
Despite the accumulated body of knowledge and practical experience of the last
50 years, we are still largely ignorant about the underlying mechanisms at work
in corporate logistics networks, and by extension, supply chains.
This continuing situation is leading to diminished or unfulfilled performance
at best, and large-scale failures of transformational programs at worst, all evident
in the pages of the world's business and financial Press on a daily basis.
The missing 'ingredient' in this whole-of-enterprise performance equation
is the pivotal role played by humans, both on the outside (in the form of customers/end
users/consumers), and on the inside (in the form of Boards, management and employees).
However, simply knowing more about human behaviour in vacuo is not enough;
rather, it is the linkages and interactions between the 'hard' tangible assets
and resources of an enterprise, and the 'softer' human side that must be more
fully comprehended and operationalised.
This book is designed to fill the void in our knowledge by providing
a robust framework that links customers/markets, operational strategy, cultural
capability, and the leadership style of the enterprise.
