It involves planning, implementing, and adjusting effectively to minimize resistance and maximize positive outcomes. Change management focuses on both the people and organizational sides of change, recognizing that successful transformation requires the support and commitment of individuals throughout the organization.</p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-style:italic;">Why is Change Management important for businesses?</span></p><p><br></p><p>Change is an inherent part of the business environment, driven by factors such as technological advancements, market dynamics, competitive pressures, and internal improvements. Without an effective change management strategy, organizations risk resistance from the end-user, decreased productivity, and even failed initiatives. Having the right strategies in place can help organizations navigate these challenges.</p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-style:italic;">What are the Key Challenges in Change Management?</span></p><p><br></p><p>Change management is not without its hurdles. Organizations often encounter resistance from employees who are reluctant to embrace change. This can be due to fear, uncertainty, or a lack of awareness of the overarching goals. Additionally, inadequate communication and stakeholder engagement, poor planning, and inadequate resourcing can impede the process. Understanding these challenges is crucial in implementing strategies to ensure a smooth transition within the organization.</p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-weight:700;">Process Improvement: Enhancing Operational Efficiency</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:700;"><br></span></p><p><span style="font-style:italic;">What is Process Improvement?</span></p><p><br></p><p>Process improvement involves the systematic examination, analysis, and enhancement of existing business processes to increase efficiency, productivity, and performance.

It's about optimizing your company's performance in three key areas: cost, service, and sustainability. As a business owner or manager, it's important to understand what your company's supply chain strategy is, why it matters, and how you can use it to help your business succeed.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The supply chain strategy is the overarching plan for how your organization will use its time, money, and people to achieve its goals. It defines how you'll prioritize getting products from point A to point B efficiently and effectively. Supply chain management refers specifically to inventory control, procurement, distribution, and all related activities that support sales growth within the business.</span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><br></span></div></div>

If you don't know what your goal is, it will be difficult to determine if you're making progress in achieving it. Supply chain strategies are most effective when they are grounded in a specific problem or issue that needs to be addressed.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">For example, your company is entering the market for a new product that requires significant investment in manufacturing plants and equipment. The primary challenge you face is demand forecasting: Can you accurately predict how many units of this new product will be purchased by customers?</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The secondary challenge is to design and implement a strategy for your supply chain: How should you source materials? Where should the materials be manufactured? What transportation methods should be used to deliver those materials where they need to go?&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The tertiary challenge- and perhaps the most difficult of all- is determining how best to execute that strategy. For example, you might have determined that it makes sense from an efficiency standpoint to manufacture your products overseas instead of domestically; but if you do so, how can you ensure quality control while still meeting customer expectations in terms of delivery times and cost effectiveness?</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">There are many different types of goals that can be set during this stage of developing a supply chain strategy; however, we highly recommend setting tangible goals with 3-6 month time frames so that you have something concrete by which success can be measured over short periods of time consistently throughout implementation (rather than focusing exclusively on long term impact).</span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><div><span style="font-size:12pt;"><br></span></div></div>

As businesses adopt new technologies for higher efficiency and visibility, it is likely that they will lack resources that have the required expertise necessary to optimize the technology.&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><b><span style="font-size:24px;">Working Remotely</span></b></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">According to research done by <a href="https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/remote-work-statistics/#%3A%7E%3Atext=A%20special%20analysis%20done%20by%2C10%20years%20it%20grew%2091%25." title="FlexJobs.com and Global Workplace Analytics" target="_blank" rel="">FlexJobs.com and Global Workplace Analytics</a>, remote work has increased by 44% from 2014 to 2019.&nbsp; And in an effort to deal with growing workplace health concerns, many more workers have transitioned to working from home in 2020.&nbsp; While there have been huge advancements in remote communication technologies, limitations do still exist.&nbsp; Employees, working from home, can often feel isolated and less a part of the team. &nbsp;They may also find it difficult to prioritize tasks. &nbsp;These limitations can put remote workers at a disadvantage when it comes to collaboration and adjusting to new technologies and processes.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><b style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:24px;">Market Volatility</span></b></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Fear, uncertainty and doubt have driven the consumer market in 2020.&nbsp; The combination of a global health crisis and unfavorable trade relations with China has led to shortages of raw materials, while consumer demand unpredictably surges.&nbsp; This volatility has caused many businesses to cut costs by furloughing, issuing lay-offs, or letting workers go completely.&nbsp; As markets remain unpredictable for the foreseeable future, organizations may be hesitant to invest in the onboarding process of new resources.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><b><span style="font-size:24px;">Conclusion</span></b></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">This year has been a wakeup call for many organizations concerning their supply chain. &nbsp;Some disruptions, such as the current global pandemic, can only be combatted by a resilient supply chain. &nbsp;It is important to remember that at the core of any process or technology, is a human resource.&nbsp; Implementations, configurations, non-automated processes, analytics, and support all require human resources and are imperative to the successful operation of a business.&nbsp; Economic uncertainty can sometimes prevent organizations from making long-term commitments to new hires and can lead highly qualified candidates to look elsewhere for employment.&nbsp; In this situation, businesses may look to a third party, such as Corvita Group, to fill in any resource or knowledge gaps.&nbsp; Corvita Group is a technology-neutral logistics consulting firm that also provides relief to businesses that are looking for an expert resource, without having to onboard a new FTE.</span></p></div>

Delays in production, fulfillment and shipping can ruin the customer experience. However, with high supply chain visibility, these delays can be caught early and resolved quickly. This information can also be communicated to the customer, so they are not left wondering why their package has not arrived.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-size:20px;font-weight:700;text-align:left;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><b style="font-size:20px;text-align:left;">Diversify Suppliers and Freight Carriers</b><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><b style="font-size:20px;text-align:left;"><br></b></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">What would happen if your supplier had to discontinue their services or there is a disruption due to Covid-19?&nbsp; Diversity helps to mitigate risk and helps to sustain businesses in less than ideal circumstances.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:20px;"><b>Collaborate Between Suppliers and Carriers with Technology</b></span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><br></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">Due to the pandemic, remote work is becoming the standard for many companies across the country.&nbsp; Through technology, teams can now easily collaborate internally, as well as digitally access their carrier connections to quote and tender freight using consistent data that can be maintained for analysis.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><br></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">A shift from in-store to online purchases could be the greatest challenge for supply chains this holiday season. This trend could increase demand on shipping and warehousing, causing several bottlenecks due to staffing shortages and new safety protocols. &nbsp;Having the right technology to increase visibility and to collaborate between a diverse set of suppliers and carriers can greatly reduce these risks.&nbsp; However, in many cases, organizations may not have the required resources to optimize their technology for this new market or are unsure of which technology would best satisfy their requirements.&nbsp; In these situations, a third party analysis, from a company with expertise on a diverse set of technologies within your industry, is recommended.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:12pt;">Corvita Group is a supply chain strategy, design and implementation firm with a focus on technology.
