WEBINAR

Speak your CFO's language - Managing risk and opportunity in supply chains

March 10 | 11 am ET

Technology, global, economic and political dynamics are changing how supply chain leaders must think about strategies. As quickly as circumstances change, so do the increasingly high expectations against which leaders are held accountable.

Success will depend not only on the agility and resiliency in which they respond to disruption, but also the business value created. The potential for results is real, as Professor Morgan Swink’s academically rigorous research shows. His findings reveal the correlation between the capabilities enabled by RapidResponse and the improvement of financial metrics, such as return-on-invested capital, asset turnover and even stock price.

To demonstrate this value, CSCOs must now look to their CFOs as their greatest potential partner, and supply chain leaders must learn how to speak the CFO’s language, including articulating:

  • The implications of supply chain design and execution choices
  • How digital transformation opportunities can impact income statements and balance sheets

By expanding the scopes of factors they consider, the metrics they track and the time horizons they plan for, supply chain leaders can use the bigger picture in convincing CFOs to justify investments in supply chain. Join us to explore how supply chains can capitalize on disruption to drive financial value.
