Under the surface, supply chain risk has become severe, systemic, and strategic. Addressing the risk cannot be left to procurement and operations teams alone, however smart and skillful they are.

Premise One of the things that every leader is expected to do is to find ways to drive significant value from their teams. Good leaders are always trying to look for opportunities that can unlock significant value creation. If you know me at all, you know that I am a big fan of the work done by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt, the creator of the “Theory of Constraints“ He had this belief that the biggest constraint that any business faces is Management attention.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 1,000 customer-centricity transformation projects over the past 25 years. They found that only 15% of CEOs and sales teams have a customer-centric strategy. Most run their company or customer relationships based on a product-focused mindset, which puts the onus on finding a market to sell one’s products to, rather than orchestrating growth together with customers.

Innovation is not a seamless linear process. Introducing the next big idea or remarkable invention to the marketplace is full of starts and stops, progression and regression, and forward and backward movement. Each start and stop represents a unique business challenge. Amidst this complex journey, it is easy to get caught up in what seem to be the most pressing business problems, only to realize later that they were merely distractions.

Until the 1970s, corporate boards were dominated by inside directors — people employed by or affiliated with the company in some way. As of 2023, Spencer Stuart research found that 85% of directors are independent. The switch came in response to a number of trends, including the distrust of American institutions after Watergate and Vietnam, and SEC rule changes that increased the importance of independent directors.
