“The expectation is that if your solution is driving value, your business should be growing exponentially. I remember financial investors telling me, ‘You guys are not losing enough money, you’re too profitable.’ Their point was that we needed to pour more money back into the business.”

– Karin Bursa, Host of the TEKTOK Digital Supply Chain Podcast featured on SupplyChainNow.com

 

“If you’re stagnant and you’re literally just trying to get out costs, there’s only a few ways to do it. You either minimize or rationalize demand, you can try to simplify or pick a common spec, but truthfully I think the bigger thing that more and more companies are figuring out is how get stuff off their own books and have somebody else do it.”

– Kelly Barner, Host of Dial P for Procurement on SupplyChainNow.com

 

The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

In this livestream, recorded in collaboration with a live audience on March 1st, Karin Bursa, Kelly Barner, and Scott Luton engage in real time about:

· The complicated choices U.S. companies are facing as they make the decision whether (or not) to invest in capital equipment

· The new Gartner Magic Quadrant for supply chain planning, and what we can learn by looking at the four groups of players.

· The role of activist investors at Kohl’s, and how they are pressuring the executive team to maximize the value of both indirect procurement and inventory management
