| Description | Many, if not most, companies pursuing supply chain improvement make a huge mistake.

In this game, the furry animal appears at one of several holes. The player must whack it on the head before it disappears to reappear at another hole. Projects like this ignore, explicitly or out of sheer ignorance, several important questions: What is our strategy? Does what we do in the supply chain affect our ability to compete? Is our organization aligned across its departments to make changes? Can “vendors” help the effort? Why involve customers (they want to beat us up)? Book Name: Supply Chain Project Management |
