Just as we all thought we could fix the world with technology, turns out our companies are mostly populated with people…?! Who would have thought they need attention 😜 As my colleagues show here, soft skills are hard, unless you like prof course! Best of luck in your next transformation #scmanagement #leadership #operations

Partnerships matter – According to Accenture Research, the landscape of ecosystem partnerships has evolved dynamically over the past decade. Industrial companies have nearly tripled the number of partnerships, while increasingly collaborating beyond their sectors to drive technology convergence with firms in software, platforms, and high-tech industries. What´s more, our analysis shows that ecosystem strategies clearly pay off through higher growth rates and profitability. This insight shaped my participation at this week’s #ManufacturingX conference, organized by the BMWK in Berlin. It’s clear that standards around #Industrial #Dataspaces are crucial for fostering greater collaboration and driving the digital transformation of European industries. The Berlin event showcased promising use cases, but the scaling of these solutions has yet to happen. If we manage to shift the focus from compliance-driven use cases to creating new business models, enhancing supply chain resilience, and improving customer services, industrial dataspaces could become a catalyst for growth and a game changer for partnerships. Thank you Prof. Dr. Svenja Falk for the research and to Kevin Eversmann for sharing his experience around #CatenaX on the conference.

Reflecting on the role next-gen GCCs are going to play for enterprises - it is quite evident that there is singificant potential for GCCs to drive innovation for enterprises by leveraging their vast access to people, processes, and data across business units and regions However, our conversations with the global enterprise leaders who drive the innovation agenda indicates that only a few believe GCCs are fundamentally helping enterprises innovate. Our research reveals that four underlying factors typically hinder GCCs from realizing their potential as innovators for the enterprise: - Leaders within GCCs often mirror the enterprise silos, failing to generate proactive ideas for the overall enterprise - The emphasis tends to be on tactical and incremental enhancements rather than transformative and innovative ideas that drive global enterprise outcomes - The fragmented ownership of processes leads to lack of comprehensive visibility into the strategic priorities of the enterprise - The limited exposure to top-tier talent stemming from the small proportion of high-impact enterprise-level work conducted within GCCs. Global enterprise leaders and GCC leaders have to raise ambitions and unlock the potential of GCCs to be innovation engines for the enterprise. Interested in finding what the potential solutions are – I found this article very insightful; it explores these unlocks and identifies five focus areas that could build a truly innovative GCC organization https://lnkd.in/dFa_MnsG #Innovation #enterprises #GCCs
