The Five Point 'Profit Protection Plan'

Business cycles come & go. And if history is any evidence then the cycles also get 'repeated'. The nature of the cycles undergoes a time frame change & a characteristic change although the broader 'structure' remains the same. Arguably the goal of the organization also shows continuity over the history & the overarching goal although is 'creating / preserving stakeholder value' the more commonly understood goal is 'Profit' . The current industry cycle seems to be of demand contraction hence decelerating revenues & profits. I was wondering what may constitute a 'Profit Protection Plan' for organizations. My five point agenda for Profit Protection is; a. Target Volume - It is unlikely that one enterprise has a capacity which exceeds more than quarter of the total market demand. Need to redefine markets & start selling more to the ones who you didn't sell. b. Price - Think 'service'. This is where the

Supply Chain KRI's (Key Risk Indicators) as a lead practice for improving Supply Chain Performance

In the evolution of enterprises, there comes a point in time when the circumstances lead to rethink the future course. I think Covid-19 has offered that, for those who wish to chart that course.

Coupled with the fact that Industry cycles have shrunk. With all the uncertainty arisen out of Covid-19, I am sure many enterprises have been working on how much would the Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) be impacted. Why enterprises?

In short, the stakeholders of Supply Chains are predominantly drawing on the KPI achievements factoring in for variations based on how Covid-19 unfolds. As a Supply Chain practitioner, I appreciate enterprises have spent lot of resources in designing the

The 'Adaptive' organisation

A lot is being said & pondered over the nature of the environment in which enterprises operate. The current environment is considered to be 'chaotic'. The 'Alignment' of the enterprise with the customer is considered to be the most important mantra for success.  I wonder what does alignment mean in the context where the environment is chaotic & the customer hence is not static. In my opinion organisations need 'dynamic alignment'. Organisations which are able to know the ingredients of what makes up for alignment & continuously gauge the shifts in the environment to keep themselves abreast with the latest parameters of alignment would be successful. Dynamic alignment needs 'Adaptive Organisations'. Adaptive organisations is a function of the People. It's your workforce. They way it is  recruited, developed, appreciated or rejected. Encouraged to take up new tasks. How is your workforce respected, trusted & celebrated.I think
