CONCLUSION: AN INCREASINGLY COMPLEX WORLD
REQUIRES NEW WAYS TO DEAL WITH.
1 Complexity of products increases, volatility of markets increases.

2 Current information management is short-term oriented (e.g. sustainability, risk etc.).

3 New technologies offer tools to deal with the challenges.

4 Proactive information management needs to be integrated into business processes.

5 4 disciplines: Collection, interpretation, visualisation and distribution.

6 Timely access to information is key differentiator of any supply chain.

7 Organizational change management is a key element to successful implementation.
