Is your company experiencing exponential growth, either organically or by acquisition? With skyrocketing sales, your supply chain may not keep up with the pace, hindering your on-fire growth and slashing your profits.

It's time for your supply chain to step up to meet the frenetic and unpredictable rhythm of sales. This book equips supply chain and procurement practitioners with the frameworks, processes, and analytical tools to take the reins and deliver stellar financial results.

The frameworks, processes, and tools that I've included in this book are critical for result-oriented and data-driven supply chain and procurement teams. They will help you successfully navigate the rough waters of fast growth—either organically or by the acquisition of other brands and companies—to achieve massive financial results.

I have written this book in a storytelling format with characters, breaking down complex concepts and analytics in finance and supply chain to make it simple and fun to understand. At the same time, I have made it highly actionable, coming from my accounting background and supply chain experience in the trenches doing the actual work like you do. So, strap in and buckle up: Read this book, take action, and you'll be able to deliver high impact results! Show less

Are revenue and EBIT growth important to you? How can you increase EBIT when you have so many fires to put out every day? How can you think of scaling operations and taking your organization or business to the next level when you are facing several challenges?

This book is about how supply chain digital transformations can help you deliver results with a high ROI. A recent publication from McKinsey notes that the biggest future impact on revenue and EBIT growth is through digitizing supply chain; companies can expect an increase of up to 3.2% in EBIT and 2.3% in annual revenue growth.

In this business storybook, directors and executives of mid-sized and large businesses who work in critical functional areas, such as Supply Chain—including Sourcing and Procurement—IT, Marketing, and Finance will find:
- Practical and technical tools that are most appropriate to use in cross-functional projects with large numbers of stakeholders
- Different approaches to improve soft skills, absolutely relevant in major supply chain digital transformations
- The good, the bad, and the ugly of these transformations, so you can have a head start

This book is based on my personal experience. The companies are fictitious, while the challenges described are ones I have found in several companies rather than being specific to one business in particular.

Maria—the main character—will take you through the following supply chain digital transformations:

- Strategic Sourcing
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
- Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)
- Procure to Pay (P2P) process

This is your opportunity to make a significant impact. This is your time. Read this book, take action, and deliver high impact results! Show less
