In her insightful article on the Better Buying website, Dr Marsha Dickson delves into the critical issue of leverage in global supply chains, highlighting how the traditional power dynamics between buyers and suppliers need a significant overhaul. Dickson challenges the entrenched notion that buyers must wield their influence forcefully to prompt supplier compliance, often perpetuating a harmful power differential. She questions the validity of this approach, especially in light of the growing call for more collaborative relationships. The article emphasizes the importance of treating suppliers with respect and as equal partners, rather than adversaries to be coerced. In an era where even machines can understand and exhibit empathy, maintaining such outdated and confrontational practices is not only counterproductive but also antithetical to the principles of decent work and mutual respect. Dickson's thought-provoking analysis is a must-read for anyone involved in procurement and supply chain management, offering a compelling vision for fostering more balanced and humane business relationships. It is not the "Game of Thrones" anymore.

“43% of retailers agree that the top strategic cross-channel fulfillment business challenge is unpredictable consumer demand” This is what I came across while I was reading a research from RSR (Link in the comments). What’s also interesting is that being able to accurately predict consumer demand will not only improve customer experience by reducing out-of-stock items but will also increase revenue by decreasing spoilage. Theory+Practice also has a specialty in the field of demand forecasting and we’re currently working with numerous CPG companies and helping them with their demand forecasting efforts.
