Supply Chain 2025 Roadmap: Disrupt or Be Disrupted

Amazon’s goal will be to manage a growing part of the world’s supply and demand chains. Its key step will be developing “always on” connections to customers, vendors and logistics.

First, customers will start at Amazon and buy from Amazon without using search or any other vendors. Second, vendors will use a direct online step to add their products to Amazon.

Then vendors will go online to tell Amazon logistics where to pick up their products. Amazon will ship their products and deliver them to customers. Logistics is one of Amazon’s next global businesses.

In tomorrow’s winner-take-all economy many companies will either join Amazon’s supply chain or yours — if you decide to add an Expandiverse platform. See below for some of your Expandiverse options.

How will Active Knowledge help people and please customers? In today’s products and services, only 1 out of 4 customers is in the top quarter of performers. But 2 out of 4 users perform at the 50% level and below.

But in an IA future, with Intelligence Amplification, could everyone rise and be “above average?”

Today’s deluge of new technologies, new products and added features constantly challenge users.

As we turn into a digital world, Active Knowledge will help “what’s new” succeed — by helping people leap ahead rapidly.

The power won’t be in the technology, products or services. It will be in every person, by how much IA lets them do during use.

Come on a journey from our pre-historic ancestors, to humanity’s rise to prosperity during the Industrial Revolution. This is now producing a “Crisis of Success” as we become unquenchable. Countless billions want unlimited consumption for centuries to come, threatening the world on which we depend.

Our Crisis of Success will force us on a Journey to Greatness. We no longer have a choice: We must build a Digital Earth with superior personal and global abilities.

How will this amazing future begin? What will its technology be? How will we live and work? Instead of questions, here is where you see how our generation will become one of the most important in history, as we turn toward a predestined Journey to Greatness.

This vision is clear: “A digital Earth will change how you and I interact, how we all connect and achieve more. The future of devices isn’t about devices; it is really your journey into tomorrow’s digital world — a world where everyone can reach their full potentials, and today’s greatness becomes the new world standard.”

Which innovation will move your markets and put your company in the lead? This on-demand briefing is based on Dan Abelow’s keynote speech that opened the Conference Board’s Enterprise Digital Transformation Council in New York.

How will your company connect with customers, suppliers, employees and partners? The big surprise is the speed and scale at which your company can drive Industry and Global Digital Transformation, not just your company’s transformation.

Here’s the new technology and clear vision you need to start leading tomorrow’s Digital Earth in years, not decades.

It’s begun:  The economic extinction of companies and jobs. Every two weeks, on average, a company falls off the S&P 500. By 2025, half of today’s leading companies will be new.

How will your company survive and prosper? This first strategy is how to survive and get the resources to become a digital leader.

This second strategy adds a digital acceleration initiative next to your main business. This starts small and lean, focused on developing your leadership. Using lean design-test, it proves how to be the digital leader of your industry. Your digital advances will help your company and customers rise to the top, with you as a leader of your industry. It then uses lean design-test to scale your leadership to a more capable Digital Earth.

Expandiverse Digital Earth Platforms accelerate Human Exponential Growth. Companies will use Digital Convergence to capture other industries: New Digital Boundaries can exclude competing companies, or force those companies to join your ecosystem.

People will be in control: Each person can choose the kind of world he or she wants, and customer-centered companies will serve them.

For example, when will you switch from the “Age of Obesity” to the “Age of Healthy Food?” And will you leave the “Age of Climate Changing Fossil Fuels” behind?

When you hold a Digital Kill Switch and help run a “People-First Economy,” will you stay at the bottom — or put yourself on top?
