Gattorna Alignment
Gattorna Alignment is a boutique strategy advisory business working with selected clients on engagements around developing market-focused strategy, innovative supply chain strategies and aligning internal capability to ensure implementation of new directions. It is built around the extensive experience of John Gattorna and his colleagues as leaders in the supply chain strategy arena for the last thirty years, and where appropriate draws on the Dynamic Alignment framework.
As former Managing Partner- Accenture Supply Chain Practice - ANZ and Southern Asia John Gattorna understands the value of timely intervention, but the business these days uses a lighter touch based on creating clarity and focus and leveraging the internal knowledge and capabilities of the organisations we work with rather than deploying large consulting teams.
Gattorna Alignment is the advisory arm that Dr John Gattorna and his colleagues use to support organisations interested in developing innovative approaches to supply chain strategy and in applying Dynamic Alignment.
Our Focus
- Market Aligned Strategy
- Breakthrough Supply Chain Strategy and
- Understanding the behavioural aspects of successful strategy and effective supply chains
We believe that one-size does not fit all – when servicing the market; when communicating with stakeholders; when trying to get the best out of suppliers. But equally a collection of customised solutions is not sustainable. We try to reduce complexity, but improve fit – by focusing on the key differences and the underlying patterns.
Extending the thinking...
We consider that applying the thinking on strategy and supply chain that has proved successful in the commercial world can create major improvements in the not-for-profit sector. We use our experience and frameworks to support:
- International Diabetes Federation
- Life for a Child,
and to contribute to the dialogue on the
- Supply Chain's that serve humanitarian relief
- See 2010 MGSM Conference Report
Our Team
Projects are led by Dr John Gattorna or Deborah Ellis. Both have consulted in strategy and supply chain and have worked with, and developed, the Dynamic Alignment framework over the last 20 years.
They are supported by specialist consultants with outstanding academic and industry experience and by collaboration with key industry partners that bring local, technical and industry depth when needed.
Research – External
Supply Chain Strategy and Dynamic Alignment often requires primary research in the client’s market or with suppliers. Research is conducted by post-graduate researchers, and with market research partners on large-scale studies.
Research - Internal
Our behavioural emphasis in the Alignment model has led us to dig deeply into Culture and Leadership issues within the organisation. Without aligning these elements, successful implementation of strategy is impossible. We use well recognised tools that evolve from robust research to help clients to implement their strategy.
