Investing in Supply Chain Technologies: Why Expected Value Falls Short

Following the 2020 pandemic, companies made substantial investments in supply chain technologies. However, according to a PwC survey, most companies are not realizing the results they expected from these investments. The issue lies not in the technologies themselves, but in inadequate change management and the implementation of technologies in alignment with strategic objectives. Companies should direct their investments toward the right technologies, develop their workforce, and establish continuous improvement processes.

Key Points:

1. Most companies are not seeing expected results from their technology investments.

2. The effectiveness of investments depends not on the technology itself, but on implementation and change management.

3. Developing employees' digital capabilities and their adaptation to new working methods is of critical importance.

4. Investments should focus on long-term growth and innovation rather than cost optimization alone.
