Business Architecture & Capability Roadmap
Eight questions to test yourself
How many can you answer with confidence?
01
How well do you understand how your supply chain architecture works end to end, or has it grown organically over time and become something no one fully owns?
02
Do your supply chain processes have clear mandates, and do they hand off to each other cleanly, or are there gaps, overlaps and decisions being made at the wrong level?
03
If you had to explain your current supply chain architecture to a new partner tomorrow, does that picture exist anywhere, or would it need to be rebuilt from scratch?
04
Do you have a clear, shared view of your capability gaps across technology, data, organisation and strategy, or does every function have a different answer?
05
Can your leadership team agree on what your supply chain capability needs to look like in three years, and what it will cost to get there?
06
You have a list of supply chain developments. Does it tell you what to do first, why, and what each step is worth, or is it a list without a logic?
07
When you are about to make a significant investment, do you know whether your current architecture can support it, or are you building on a non-validated foundation?
08
What is the measurable business return on your supply chain technology investments over the last three years, and are you satisfied with that answer?
