Every business transformation needs a solid strategy. And every strategy needs a laser focus on execution.

Warehouses and final-mile providers have joined the stampede toward digitization — the automation of manual processes, with an eye toward achieving better decision-making and streamlining business processes. But such efforts are doomed to fail unless companies pay close attention to the particulars of execution. On this episode, we discuss how they can avoid creating a gap between strategy and execution, with the help of Mat Witte, chief executivel officer at ORTEC Americas. He outlines the challenges of modern-day warehousing and final-mile delivery, along with the “blind spots” that prevent executives from seeing the full picture, and the respective roles of technology and people in realizing operational excellence. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
