Matthew Webber writes about the challenge has been laid to develop a Supply Chain Strategy that supports Australia’s renewed obsession with lifestyle. The way that we buy, move and sell Is shifting in seismic proportions.

Technology is changing at a rapid pace and while technology is changing, companies will continue to be forced to change. New technologies can disrupt established businesses, but more importantly they stimulate opportunities for innovation.

Matthew Webber writes about Supply Chain Transformation leadership in action. One of the key attributes for any prosperous supply chain of the modern era is to have the ability to adapt and respond. We can design our supply chains structurally, and technically, to deliver on this outcome, however we do have to move our supply chains from where they are today, to where they need to be in the future.

Matthew Webber writes about retail transformation in disruptive times. It is both confronting and somewhat depressing to turn the pages (physically or digitally) of a newspaper to see yet another retailer fall victim to the economic climate. There is nothing nice about an empty shop front, the loss of jobs or the withdrawal of an important community institution.
Matthew Webber writes about rethinking our Global Supply Chains. The world as we know it has changed. The speed, the relationships, the priorities, the tastes. We can access information, goods and services quicker than ever – and our environments politically, environmentally and structurally seem more volatile than ever before. And this is before we even get to the great awakener in COVID -19.

People have an amazing capacity to forget. To revert to their old behaviours. And that might have been the case if COVID had come and gone quickly.
