CASE STUDY

Response Is Not a Strategy –the Strategic Diamond Is Our Answer to Sense and Steer Our Global Supply Chain

In a world with cognitive overload and evolving expectations, “sense, shift and steer” becomes a key element of creating the supply chain of the future. We created the Strategic Diamond, a model allowing us to continuously develop from rigid into flexible structures, by connecting market and strategy. Our case study will deliver you an insight into our journey to deal with the uncertainties as a new normal and how we adopt conceptual to disruption.

  • Our Supply Chain Vision

  • The strategic diamond creates the ecosystem for the future
  • 3 examples: Future of Work, Substantivities, Transformation Resilient to Robust
