A New Acid Test for Supply Chain Talent Management By Carlos Garcia and Bill Fello
In today’s flatter world, leading supply chains are defined by less vertical integration and more dynamic collaboration among global trading partners. These changes have created new manufacturing and distribution footprints amid ever-present competitive pressures that require additional supply chain breakthroughs.
Executives who have amassed the experience and skill sets to face this challenge are in short supply. Consequently, hiring teams face an array of questions and tradeoffs in their efforts to ensure that their search for a supply chain leader aligns with their organization’s current and future needs.
To work through this challenge, hiring teams should recognize the business imperatives and talent implications of their evolving supply chains and then pragmatically derive an “acid test” for assessing the talent currently available in the marketplace.
