Digital Transformation Drives Disruption
The Benefits of a Thinking Supply Chain
How to Proceed
Today’s supply chains need to be more customer-centric. Top drivers of future change are:
Selling directly to the consumer with data driven,
demand-aware precision.
Fostering growth by responding quickly to change with accuracy

Success in the digital era requires a “thinking” supply chain, one that is:
Enabled with comprehensive and
fast analytics
Conscious of cyber threats
AI-enabled deep insights and

will come from manufacturers with business model and
customer capabilities founded on digital
competencies.
IDC believes the supply chain must become "thinking," one that is intimately connected to disparate internal and external data sources such as social sentiment and the IoT, enabled with comprehensive and fast AI-driven analytics, openly collaborative through cloud-based commerce networks, conscious of cyberthreats, and cognitively interwoven.
The thinking supply chain must seamlessly move across applications and in how it leverages data sources.
Technologies like AI and blockchain have moved from the research lab to become
practical for the supply chain.
The notion of a thinking supply chain is a powerful one that o�ers the prospect of a self-learning, collaborative system.
Technology partners will be key.
of manufacturers are outsourcing or looking at outsourcing their B2B backbone as a precursor for digital transformation.
In 2018 particularly we are seeing investments in blockchain initiatives to elevate how companies collaborate with partners for accuracy, e�ciency.
Yet only about 25% of manufacturers have adequate documentation and knowledge retention plans.
Think of supply chain transformation as a “journey” – decide where to focus �rst based on your business needs and strategy.
of companies believe their data analytics capabilities to be less than best-in-class.
