Why do Companies Participate in NEMI Roadmap
Activities? (continued)

• Those who participate in the Roadmap creation get
  a broad view of the supply chain landscape from
  customers, competitors, and suppliers
• Roadmaps can become self fulfilling prophecies
  as many within Industry focus on the identified
  challenges and benchmark their company against
  the user needs
• As General Dwight D. Eisenhower was fond of
  saying, Its not the Plan (that is created) but
  the Planning (process) that provides maximum
  insight
