Key Questions
Key set of questions to ask in each area
Theme Scope / Meaning / Definition Key Questions
Context Supply chains in the next decade must take into account the key trends driven through increased globalization, and the forces that have potential to affect the overall performance and structure. What are the potential disruptive forces in the supply chain? How should major companies react to the risks and opportunities? What is the future of outsourcing and crowdsourcing trends? What should we be doing to take advantage of the opportunities these trends will present to the supply chain?
Technology The underlying platform and emerging collaboration technologies have potential to disrupt existing paradigm and enable the supply chain of the future. How does the next generation of supply chain professionals and consumers envision the social media tools of the future? What are their likes, dislikes and requirements for optimal collaboration and efficiency? What models are good for the future of enterprise social tools? How will the end-to-end supply chain be managed with Cloud Computing? How will the 'Internet of Things' impact supply chain management? What technological advancements will be paramount for the supply chain of the future and why? What changes will the use of Business Analytics Optimization drive in supply chain management?
Culture Increased globalization, better collaboration and business demands may lead to a more efficient organizational structure and culture which emerges to meet the 20/20 challenge. What are the key differences and special needs of future employees, clients and suppliers? What are their cultural influences and attributes? What are the cultural norms of the next generation (social behaviors, career paths, technological expectations)? How will global supply chains employ a more trans-national approach (customized to fit a specific region)?
