But above all, the **CSCO** should communicate leading-light into the agenda to consider *sustainable* and [*visible-end-to-end supply chains*](https://www.bearingpoint.com/en/?noRedirect=1), understanding the substance of **SC** functions as a *central piece* of the business. They are also providing organisations with *new approaches* to take in customers. These technologies make you a *customer-centric* company, setting you apart in the marketplace.  **CSCOs are focusing on a customer-centric method** The **CSCO** is vital to any company pretending to *operate customer-focused*.  Manufacturing and constant-assessing businesses need someone at the executive level, which is accountable for the entire **SC** and faces omnichannel approaches. The demand for a customised-delivering product implies *faster*, *smarter* and more flexible actions. To make incremental improvements, **CSCOs** must manage the transformation of the **SC**. **Extending the enterprise SC** **-** [**N**ew business models on *the digital economy*](https://www.bearingpoint.com/en/our-expertise/capabilities/) are escalating *data analytics* to the top; so, companies have an urgent need for *a data scientist* who brings in their *know-how* to analyse colossal amounts of data, and who can interpret the results accordingly. **- T**here is a need for a *large workforce* as the new focus is on *speed* and *flexibility.* Particularly in *manufacturing* and *warehousing*, corporations will depend on a labour contingent to act in response to demand volatility. **-** *Manufacturing* and *warehousing* will count much more on automation, mainly *robotics* and the Internet of Things (**IoT**). These technologies require new competencies to bring about digitised processes. All these workforce changes should begin in *manufacturing* and *logistics areas,* where **CSCO** is in charge, but they extend all over the company, positioning the **CSCO** in a site to influence on the skillset of the enterprise as a whole. **Further comments:** c*ustomised-products* and *customer-centricity* are *turning over* the traditional **SCs,** along with the executive suite. A **CSCO** who knows *how to evolve* can renovate not just the supply and demand networks, but the whole business and its place in the trading environment. **Dave Food** [Prophetic Technology](https://www.prophetic-technology.com/) **Subscribe to our emails & exclusive free content.** **[![I want to subscribe](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2979069/174cc371-9cdc-4b94-a32e-9007f0ac4dea.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2979069/174cc371-9cdc-4b94-a32e-9007f0ac4dea)** - [supply chain](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/supply-chain) - [planning](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/planning) - - - ## Post Your Comments Here #### About Us Prophetic Technology is a team of dedicated people that combine their expertise in business domains with a passion to release potential.s every page it appears on.
