Dr John Gattorna Global Supply Chain ‘Thought Leader’
|
John Gattorna, stands at the forefront of supply chain ‘thought leadership’ in the world today, and his work has influenced many of today’s leading multi-national corporations.
He has made it his passion in life to stay at the cutting edge of supply chain design, and his last three books are testament to that, the most recent being Dynamic Supply Chains; how to design, build and manage people-centric value networks, 3rd edn., FT Prentice Hall, Harlow, 2015.
His advanced methodologies offer a way of dealing with the ‘new normal’ operating environment, characterized by volatility, and yet more volatility, with no respite in sight.
John’s work has taken on a ‘whole-of-enterprise’ feel and scope, because he steadfastly believes that you can only transform enterprise supply chains if you transform the entire enterprise, hence his multi-disciplinary approach to supply chain design, from ‘outside-in’, using ‘design thinking’ principles.
Apart for researching, consulting, and teaching (Adjunct Professor, UTS Business School, Sydney), John likes to share his best thinking with peers and business associates around the world, and for this reason he organises ‘thought leadership’ summits every two or three years – bringing the very best supply chain academics, practitioners, and business executives together for a talk-fest lasting two days, on a strictly ‘by-invitation-only’ basis.
John officially launched his latest book Dynamic Supply Chains (2015) at the last global SC ‘thought leadership’ Summit in Athens, Sept’15, and both e-book and hard copy versions are now available. See the ‘Book Launch’ tab of the Summit website www.2015gscs.com for more details about the contents. John is Executive Chairman of Gattorna Alignment, a Sydney-based Firm specialising in supply chain ‘thought leadership’, and Adjunct Professor at UTS Business School, Sydney, Australia. His personal website is: www.johngattorna.com He is now one of the most respected supply chain ‘thought leaders’ in the world.

Deepening fissures in globalisation, cautious scepticism on free trade, a drift towards isolationism—all signs of a global paradigm shift impacting the movement of goods. Combined with reduced automation costs, consumer demands for seamless service delivery and renewed attention to sustainability, supply chain managers are revaluating their priorities for continued success in the digital age. How can executives account for international risk and political fluctuations in their supply chains? What competitive forces are challenging traditional thinking about supply? How are Australian companies faring compared to global agents?
From the sheer pace of digital discovery to radical changes in consumer preferences, the complexity of modern logistics is thrusting supply chain leaders to the strategic forefront. Leaders who find a path through this volatility are shaping organisation-wide strategy and forging a new business reality. What does courageous leadership in supply chain strategy look like? How are supply chain leaders working across interior portfolios to build internal capabilities? Can the supply chain function evolve to become synonymous with a company’s reputation? How do you build your legacy as a supply chain executive?
Supply chain strategy is crossing into a new business threshold. No longer confined to the logistics of executing business strategy, supply chain leaders are becoming determinative in how the enterprise chooses to compete. How can leaders assess the limitations of their existing supply networks? Is visibility through integrated supply an imperative for shaping business objectives? How has the supply chain evolved to unlock new business opportunities for companies?
There is no claim of ignorance in supply. Whether it be the ubiquitous risk of social media or cyber threats intensified by attacker footholds in the pipeline, a comprehensive risk and security strategy is crucial for seamless supply. Are cloud-security and cyber-resilience developing in pace with technology in integrated supply chains? Should supply chain executives assume greater responsibility for a company’s risk portfolio? What systems are in place to transform supply chain vulnerabilities into opportunities? How can managers cultivate a risk appetite to remain competitive in a dynamic market?
Inspired by customisation, enticed by cost, and motivated by ethical consumption—the contradictory interests of today’s consumers are disturbing long-standing distribution models. Organisations that mould their product pathways on consumer preferences are gaining the competitive edge. How are supply chain managers reconciling diverging customer preferences? Will further consumer empowerment disrupt long-standing distribution models? How are novel distribution pathways bringing consumers closer to their products, and brands closer to their consumers?
From responding to investor demands for transparency to vying for consumer allegiances, sustainable practice plays a central role in contemporary supply chains. As the dimensions of sustainability shift, from purely environmental arguments to social and economic cases, it is critical that supply chain managers build their sustainability knowledge. How should leaders assign priorities within the expanding sustainability agenda? How would anticipated regulatory developments impact the commercial landscape? Will leaders be able to market sustainability as a point of distinction once regulation becomes prolific?
Whether born of necessity or from ambition, innovation is an undeniable force in modern supply. Blockchain remodelling and the Internet of Things are converging, animating an abundance of dormant data in supply chains. Robotics technology and artificial intelligence are simultaneously absorbing rapid consumer-driven change. How can executives create a culture of innovation to discern realistic applications for hype-cycle technologies? Are leaders effectively leveraging the innovative power of suppliers? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so how do leaders advance the entire supply chain? How can managers identify unnecessary complexity in supply? What does the future hold for supply chain leaders?
