Your company implemented a new system but isn’t getting the results it hoped. Unrealistic expectations around advanced technology might be a contributing factor. “Systems may take over mundane tasks, but companies still need people to ensure data is usable and to analyze system outputs. Companies that find technology isn’t producing helpful results may not understand that humans still play a key role.” – Revenue Growth Excellence Practice Director Rich Medrano Learn the essential role humans play in technology implementations: https://lnkd.in/g-_C8GsQ #digitaltransformation

Supply chains generate large amounts of data that can be turned into real insights to improve pain points. As a result, companies are investing heavily in analytic technology to effectively interpret and understand their data. However, bringing these new technologies on board frequently creates even more problems. Here’s why: 🔷 Data quality: Companies often focus more on new data management infrastructure than the quality of the data itself. 🔷 Data language: Different departments and functions produce different types of data, creating departmental silos. 🔷 Legacy systems: Old systems and processes can’t produce the data needed by analysts to glean insights. Interested to learn more about how data keeps the supply chain moving? Read our blog on data management and the supply chain: https://lnkd.in/gBpPB5rc #data #supplychain
