More than half of CSCOs would sacrifice profit for sustainability
According to the results of a new study from IBM and Celonis on supply chain resiliency , Chief Supply Chain Officers ( CSCOs ) recognise the critical role that hybrid cloud , AI , process mining and execution management play in helping them overcome the disruptions they ’ ve faced over the last two years . In fact , 72 % of CSCOs surveyed expect their processes and workflows to be automated over the next three to five years – and 69 % plan to accelerate cloud adoption to enhance realtime data access .
The study , The resilient digital supply chain : How intelligent workflows balance efficiency and sustainability , conducted by the IBM Institute for Business Value ( IBV ) – in cooperation with Celonis and Oxford Economics – surveyed almost 500 CSCOs across 10 industries including banking , consumer products , manufacturing and automotive . The study findings indicate that organisations are searching for ways to modernise their supply chains by embracing data and hybrid cloud strategies as well as prioritising sustainability .
“ The confluence of post-COVID-19 challenges , inflation and supply issues , security and sustainability has led to the most complex operating environment in modern business ,” said Jonathan Wright ,
