Instead of pushing innovation forward, I see companies using the term “digital” as a path for IT spending. When we study 600 public companies by peer group, at the intersection of inventory turns and operating margin, only 5% drive improvement. Event companies perpetuate the myths of best practices. Question the Basics.

A forum was great for networking but not for driving process innovation. For example, client-server to cloud architectures offered great promise for process innovation, but companies just moved their processes without asking how to drive new levels of value from technology. I wanted to help companies drive step-changes in performance.

As demand forecasting accuracy increases, and the standard deviation associated with the forecast decreases, the need to hold “just in case” inventory also goes down. This leads to lower inventory carrying costs and thus better case flow. Demand forecasting should be tightly integrated to an inventory optimization application.

However, two decades later, there is still no technology solution to enable demand visibility or help companies use channel data to translate demand into an inventory, replenishment, or manufacturing strategy. The decline in inventory turns uses cash. Industry events and the press perpetuate the status quo. Growth requires cash.
