About Supply Chain Intelligence Report 2009
The research is composed of two sections:  
       
  "The Perfect Storm"  
  The world is changing faster than ever. Today, businesses are being affected by a surge of life-altering trends including global networking, rapid urbanisation, changing population dynamics and legislation designed to limit our impact on the environment. In addition to these rising challenges, the world recently endured an onslaught of dramatic events such as the global credit crisis and a broad spectrum market slowdown. We're in the midst of a perfect storm. The question is, what impact are these trends having on supply chains? How are business leaders countering or capitalising on these trends and events?
 
       
  Scrutinising the Complexity Masters  
  In 2003, based on a sample of companies located and operating in the developed economies of Western Europe and North America, Deloitte discovered that companies with complex value chains and the capability to manage this complexity, are 73% more successful than their peers. Deloitte called these companies "Complexity Masters". The 2008 supplychainforesight study in South Africa proved that the theory of Complexity Masters holds true in SA too; a developing economy.

Within the context of "The Perfect Storm", Supply Chain Intelligence Report 2009 will seek to uncover in detail how the Complexity Masters are capitalising on their changing environment, how they cope with erratic demand and inaccurate forecasts, and their strategic plans moving forward.
