Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results: Why Innovation Matters in a Fast-Changing World

Many companies have achieved success despite having poor visibility and control of their supply chains; despite having outdated and inflexible IT systems; despite not taking a holistic perspective of their end-to-end processes; and so on. However, the standard disclaimer that appears on all investment literature also holds true for supply chain and logistics: past performance is no guarantee of future results. In this presentation, Adrian makes the case as to why companies can't succeed "despite" any more and outlines several attributes that will define successful companies of tomorrow.
