The outcome & where to aim
Not yet linked to an outcome.
Where you are today → where to aim
Rate yourself 1 (manual) to 5 (intelligent); the highlighted level is a sensible target.
Why this rating
high impact / high effort. High impact - supply continuity and risk. Effort high - data quality, third-party risk and supplier engagement. When this changes: these ratings are judged for a typical mid-market to enterprise organization — re-weight them for your segment, ERP and compliance profile (disclosure management, for instance, is high-impact for a public or pre-IPO company and marginal for a small private one).
How to get there
Software is one option among several — sometimes the right move is to standardize the process first, or use what your ERP already offers.
