To rise above the competition today, companies need to better understand the impact their planning and decision-making patterns have on their organization, and the extended supply chain. To transform their organizations, executives have to revisit the underlying processes and the supporting technology that enable the business transformation. However, the often forgotten element in the equation is the human capital of the organization. People and relationships are the core of this transformation change. This webinar will address how achieving break-through results requires companies to fully embrace and execute cross-functional and cross-organization collaboration. Coldrick and Munroe will discuss the cultural change, organizational change, training, and mentoring required.
