Most CSCOs are still struggling to optimize their supply chain flows
Optimization across the global supply chain is seen as a major
goal, but most CSCOs are struggling to create a holistic view
In 2010, 70 percent of CSCOs
predicted that their supply chain
flows would be optimized within
five years.
Today, only 9% say they have
succeeded, but expectations
are even higher than before.

Invite customers to the table.
Include customers in any conversations about your
product and service portfolio. Ask them what new
products and services they would like to see next,
how they would like existing products and services
modified and what pricing strategies they would
prefer. Use social networks to start a dialog and get
direct input.
Taking action: Become customer-activated
IBM Institute for Business Value
Invest in customer understanding.
Capitalize on the abundance of data that’s now
available to find out what customers expect. Look at
the digital and physical paths they take, where they
go–click by click or step by step, their behavioral
patterns, transaction histories and the feedback
they provide to predict new trends, and manage
your supply chain proactively.
Taking action: Become customer-activated
IBM Institute for Business Value
Enhance the customer experience.
Collaborate with customers both to improve and to
personalize the customer experience and thus
stimulate growth. Use real-time demand signals and
