CIO logo"Integrating Supply Chain Post M&A: Taming the beast"
Web site: CIO Talk Radio
Date: 4 May 2007

While Post M&A IT integration is tedious, an even more challenging task is Supply Chain integration. What makes it so formidable is the need for a very high level of human intervention and the usually large disparity in the related systems, technologies, and processes. So, how can we ensure the success of such an undertaking?

"Raised Voices or Raising Voices? Taking Business at its Word in the New VU"
Paper: presented by Elizabeth Harman to the Australian Financial Review Higher Education Summit, Melbourne
Date:
4 April 2007

Australian universities are planning their futures in a global context. The global challenge of today is not technology, but how we live and work together as people. One of the people elements of the challenge is how the world and individual countries manage the relationship between education and the workforce, with all the attendant implications for economic, social and personal well-being. There is a severe demographic imbalance between countries with a disproportionately younger population, hungry for education and prosperity and those that are developed, ageing and hungry for educated younger workers to help maintain their prosperity. Australia is in the second category. China is in a group of its own having limited the size of its younger cohort, while still developing as a nation.

CUSTOMER CONVERSATIONS: All pathways lead to customers
(Adapted from Living Supply Chains by Dr John Gattorna)

We have all been seeking the holy grail of improved operational and financial performance. The problem is we have been looking at all the wrong places. The secret to designing a superior supply chain is to start by re-segmenting customers along buying behavior lines and then reverse engineering from there.

We need to shape specific value propositions and underpin these with appropriate organization structures, processes, technology and other building blocks. Consider the supply chains that exist in your industry today.

How difficult would it be to shift towards using multiple supply chains to serve your different customer segments? And how effective? Where would you start?

The good news is that the idea of aligning supply chains with customers, suppliers and third party logistics providers is intuitively attractive and catching on fast. But no one has joined all the dots and fully understands what is involved in engineering an aligned supply chain. We are at best in a world of observation and anecdotes, and still some way from a comprehensive theory to guide us into the future.


Online Newsletter, Issue 52, 9th February 2007

Implementing a multiple supply chain alignment strategy - Working with people to deliver the required responsiveness
(Adapted from Living Supply Chains by Dr John Gattorna)

Cultural mapping is a way of profiling an enterprise in quantitative terms - it makes visible that which is invisible. In developing an organizational cultural map, a possible can determine the generic enterprise sub-cultures that its people fall into - Group, Entrepreneurial, Hierarchical and Rational.

The subcultures present in an enterprise are the collective set of values and beliefs held by staff and management - and they influence the thinking and action of the organization. It is the underlying culture values which determine what get done in organizations - not what you write down in business plans.

Change management initiatives can be carried out with more precision and with greater probability of success once an organization can correctly map it current, ideal and preferred cultures. The leadership group in an enterprise must take responsibility for shaping the various subcultures necessary to underpin and drive proposed strategies into the marketplace - there is no escaping this responsibility.
