Few Supply Chain Organizations Ready to Deliver on Future Performance: Survey

‍

Just 29% of supply chain organizations have developed at least three of the five key competitive characteristics needed for future readiness, according to a survey by Gartner, Inc. The characteristics, such as being competent using artificial intelligence and being able to navigate new trade policies, are needed for supply chain officers to succeed, Gartner said.

Gartner, an American technological research and consulting firm, surveyed 579 supply chain practitioners across industry and geography, July 31-October 1, 2024. The competitive characteristics Gartner identified included:

‍

• Agility

• Resilience

• Regionalization

• Integrated ecosystems

• Integrated enterprise strategy

‍

The survey analysis identified “leaders” among the respondents as supply chain organizations that have already developed at least three of the five competitive characteristics necessary to address the top five drivers of supply chain’s future.

"Leaders shared a commitment to preparation through long-term, deliberate strategies, while non-leaders were more often focused on short-term priorities," said Pierfrancesco Manenti, an analyst at Gartner’s Supply Chain practice.
