Tools help.
But just having a tool does not necessarily mean you will be better.
The Great IT Illusion:

Despite our obsession with technology,
itโs time to face the hard truth:
Technology alone wonโt fix our supply chain problems.
Take the example of a struggling retail company.
They invest heavily in IT solutions like automated inventory tracking,
hoping to speed up their operations.
But they fail to consider how their current reward system
encourages employees to
prioritize speed over accuracy.
Whatโs more,
they donโt take the time to unlearn old habits, like
โข hoarding inventory or
โข placing unnecessary rush orders.
ย ย So despite their fancy new tools, theyโre still stuck in the same old traffic jam.
If we want to break free from this cycle, we need to ask the tough questions.
What outdated practices are we holding onto?
How can we incentivize better behaviour?
Only then can we start to truly move forward.
