In this episode of Talk Retail to Me, Parker Avery’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Kaufman shares his insights about the changing role of the retail chief supply chain officer.
Answering questions from a recent interview with media outlet, Modern Retail, Robert discusses how changes in consumer shopping behaviors, combined with global macroeconomic events and disturbances have added great complexity, challenges, and risks to the retail supply chain. These issues continue to prevent a reliable and consistent flow of goods for even the largest and most sophisticated retailers and have dramatically altered the chief supply chain officer’s role and impact on the company’s success.
Robert outlines new characteristics the executive-level supply chain and operations roles must possess to be successful as he addresses questions such as:
- What is pushing apparel brands into hiring new supply chain leaders or COOs?
- How have retail inventory planning and supply chain planning changed in recent years?
- What type of qualities are apparel brands looking for in their new chief supply chain officers?
- What are some of the major challenges that supply chain officers will face in the coming months?
