Here are four takeaways:
- The survey, which included 100 C-suite executives and 100 supply chain leaders across the U.S., found differing views on the role of supply chain in driving growth, according to a March 11 news release shared with Becker’s.
- While both groups acknowledged the importance of supply chain for business success, 85% of supply chain leaders said they view themselves as critical to growth, compared to only 70% of C-suite executives.
- Despite this, 46% of executives surveyed said they expect the supply chain to have more visibility in the C-suite in the coming year, with plans for more staffing and investment.
- Both groups also acknowledged that supply chain leaders struggle to communicate their value to the broader organization, with 99% of C-suite executives and 100% of supply chain leaders agreeing on this point. Additionally, both sides said the responsibility to improve communication lies with the supply chain team.
