"The first Roadmap was called by some 'the most important document to be published by the industry in more than 20 years,'" recalls Gary Forger, who spearheaded the original effort to develop the document. "It established a baseline of key disruptors faced by supply chain practitioners today and in the approaching decade. While it was comprehensive for the time, the staggering rate of change in the field during the recent past has prompted us to begin work on the second edition."
Anderson is board approved in supply chain strategy, an advisory board member for the Advanced Supply Chain Certification program, and was named a top 100 supply chain blogger on SupplyChainOpz. Recognized as the 16th most influential person in supply chain management and sustainability by technology leader SAP's "Top 46 Resource and Optimizations Influencers (Plus a Few Others)," she has conducted primary research on customer service expectations, skills gaps and how Amazon is impacting businesses.
"I'm honored to be selected to participate in this high-quality group of supply chain professionals to provide expertise and collaborate on supply chain management trends, disruptors and opportunities," explains LMA Consulting President Lisa Anderson. "By identifying the most important disruptors, manufacturing and distribution executives can think ahead to avoid serious pitfalls and to prepare for long-term, sustainable success. Knowledge is power - if executives understand what's most likely to occur 10 years into the future, they can set the appropriate strategy and prepare their people, processes and protocols to delight the customer and maximize profit."
Upon completion of four regional summits, the gathered information will be used as the basis for the writing of the second edition of the Roadmap. The report will be released during MHI's ProMat tradeshow and exposition, held April 3-6, 2017 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
Celebrating its eleventh year, LMA Consulting Group helps growing companies elevate overall business performance while creating a customer service edge. Anderson, also known as The Manufacturing ConnectorSM, is currently working on a book entitled "The Amazon Effect" detailing a business roadmap to thriving in an ultra-competitive marketplace. She actively posts educational blogs three times weekly and has two newsletters, Profit through PeopleSM and "I've Been Thinking."
