When it comes to managing finances or making large decisions for an organization, data is of the utmost importance to help guide your decisions and give you insights on what to expect after the decision is made. Whether you’re managing day-to-day finances, making a decision on pricing, choosing who to partner with, or even creating deal negotiations, having data to back each decision is the safest way to play. In this session, Scott Luton and Supply Chain Now welcome Laren Sidhu and Oisín Cooke with Enable and Charlotte Rodgers with DCS as they go over the importance of data and the impact that a data-driven decision can make for your organization, both now and in the future. They’ll also review how to visualize your data to make more informed decisions, and how to best utilize the data that you’ve found so you can set your organization up for greater success as you grow.

Businesses are collecting mountainous amounts of data, but few are using that data to make transformative change. Multiple departments, systems, and processes, often working in siloes with varying tasks, responsibilities, conflicts of interest, create a patchwork of data points. This makes it difficult for finance teams to access and analyze information that gives them both the ‘big picture’ and granular detail. With restricted visibility, effective decision-making across the supply chain becomes a challenge. It’s time for finance to take a strategic standpoint, to create a more efficient, resilient, and cost-effective supply chain. Join this session while we cover topics such as : The challenges and risks with financial data Why data is your single source of truth The strategic role of finance in the supply chain How to establish a data-driven supply chain
