The presentation was given at Strategic sourcing conference. The presentation is based on research for my MBA thesis.
Focus on transforming the supply chain by using digital solutions. Reducing risk and increasing agility.
6. The digital revolution has affected all aspects of
business, including supply chains.
The Internet of Things (IoT), with its network of
devices embedded with sensors is now starting
to connect everything.
7. Technologies such as RFID and analytics are
combining to help companies to transform
their existing supply chain networks into more
flexible, open, agile, and collaborative digital-
driven models.
8. .
Digital supply chains enable business process
automation, organizational flexibility, and
digital management of corporate assets and
the control of Cost
9. “84% of procurement organizations
believe that digital transformation
will fundamentally change the way
their services are delivered over the
next three to five years. Yet only
32% have developed a strategy for
getting there.”
The Hackett Group
10. Digitization
Is the conversion from analogy
to digital. Atoms become bits
(e.g. digitization of data). You
cannot digitize people.
11. Is the process of using digital
technology, and the impact it
has on business operations
(e.g. digitalization of a process).
Digitalization
12. Digital transformation
Is a digital-first approach encompassing all
aspects of business.
Regardless of whether it concerns a digital
business or not.
It leads to the creation of entirely new markets
and businesses
15. Why do cars have brakes?

with the risks associated with going fast
They Allow you to go faster
16. Current Challenges in Procurement
• Ambiguous requirements
• Supplier due diligence
• Supplier verification
• Limits of Authority
• Ethics and conflict of interest
• Auditability, Corporate Governance
• BEE tracking
• Data accuracy
• Contract negotiation
• Contact management
• TCO/TLC in import products
• Exchange rates
• Visibility
• Aligning Data
17. Less than 25% of the companies surveyed can’t even locate supplier contracts,
let alone monitor and manage contract performance
Most companies have applied a strategic sourcing process to less than half of
their overall spending
Approximately 70% of the companies continue to make purchasing decisions at
the divisional or site levels
Nearly 33% of purchases are off-contract (i.e.) maverick buys
Only a few companies have standardized sourcing or procurement processes
Clear visibility into total enterprise spending is not available
Detailed management reporting and monitoring is difficult or non-existent

10% of its 20,000 – 40,000 active contracts at any given
time.

41. “The Internet of Things (IoT) is a
network of physical objects
embedded with electronics,
software, sensors and network
connectivity. These objects collect
and exchange data without the need
for human interaction. Each of these
technologies relies on the IoT in a
different way, providing a
competitive advantage or
differentiator.”
47. More efficient use of resources and
utilities, avoiding surplus material pile
up and smarter production rates based
on demand.
Real-time asset management shows the health
and status of various machinery, allowing for
pre-emptive maintenance.
Lower cost of ownership, smarter spending and
workforce optimisation.

50. Procurement Faces a Perfect Storm
Procurement professionals face a
perfect storm because the procurement team must:
Support the rest of the organization in its digital
transformation
Manage the impact of digital technologies on the
supply market
Become a digital master itself, so as to continuously
increase its value proposition.
51. Continual connectivity
Organizational speed.
The companies that recognize
market change and opportunities
Will profit the most from digital
transformation
Deluge of information.
Information is being collected by
companies from multiple
channels, devices, and forms at
tremendous speeds with minimal
latency
52.
53. Risk in Transforming digitally
• Cybercrime and Hacking of systems
• Cyber criminals are indiscriminate. Where there is a
weakness, they will try to exploit them.
• Increasing the number of interfaces and the
intertwining of welfare and commercial use, create
a wealth of new opportunities for any attacker.
• An organization must understand the cyber threats
it faces, and then adopt a cyber security strategy
that is proportional to the risks faced – based upon
the outcomes of a risk assessment
54. Transitioning to the digital supply chain requires a complete
assessment of current processes, leading to a detailed road
map to move from current state to future state.
Going forward
The focus must be on investment in training people to
improve their analytical skills.
Changing corporate behaviours to sense demand,
understand the signals that matter, and act on the insights.
As a result, the birth of digital forecasting will emerge that
will be more anticipatory, rather than prescriptive
55. The gradual replacement of human
judgment across the supply chain.
This will require companies to evolve in order to
best support areas such as automated data
gathering, tactical demand planning, procurement,
and execution.
Digital transformation will cross many facets of a company's
business, requiring collaboration platforms, collaborative
economy services, and e-commerce
Companies will need to recognize and embrace the
emergence of cloud, mobile, social, big data, and-most of all-
predictive analytics.
