Closing the Skills Gap That Holds Back Your Digital Supply Chain Design
Presented by Coupa & Miebach
Leading companies have adopted modeling and simulation technologies, leveraging a digital twin of their respective supply chains, allowing them to unlock benefits that otherwise would have been locked in by design. While adopting new digital supply chain technology results in dramatic efficiencies within operations and logistics, it demands supply chain practitioners have specialized skills -
this is where we encounter the skills gap.
Coupa’s Matt Tichon and Miebach’s Victoria Ma shared practical tips, ideas, and examples about how joint customer Eaton managed their skills gap to develop a Center of Excellence, including:
- Project initiation: lay the foundation for success by aligning skills, technology, business outcomes and teams.
- Developing team skills and career paths: what to look for individually, organizationally, and how to bring it together and augment via training, third party support and a CoE.
- How to build decision-making maturity: requires breaking down silos, building up team collaboration and capabilities, and delivering value from the CoE.
