Question #: 25
Topic #: 4
[All CTSC Questions]

Which of the following capabilities is most important for an organization undertaking digital supply chain transformation to reduce its reaction time for responding to changing demand?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

According to the CTSC Enterprise and Supply Chain Management (ESCM) manual, human capital and talent is one of the most critical non-technological factors to execute a digital supply chain transformation1. Human capital and talent refers to the skills, knowledge, abilities, and attitudes of the people who work in the supply chain, as well as the processes and practices to attract, develop, and retain them1. A successful digital supply chain transformation requires a workforce that is capable of using and adapting to digital technologies, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data, and robotics1. It also requires a culture that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning1. Therefore, human capital and talent is essential for enabling and sustaining a digital supply chain transformation1.
