Naturally, he was looking forward to the challenge ahead. After discussing how the new role might differ from his current post (less mature, new region, different culture…) talk turned naturally to who his successor might be.

Not because 1% represents such a modest number, but because 1% is actually rather encouraging. In real terms, this translates to three of those who responded to our poll claiming they had “cracked the code” of supply chain transparency.

The benefits of the former are full compliance and spend leverage, the trade-offs are seen in functional agility, speed to market, and local-market knowledge and diversification.
