Technology and Innovation tipping point
Interesting article that give great insights about the impact of Technology and Innovation in the Transportation and Logistics industry.
From one side you have industry leaders that vouch for disruptive technologies, such as Hernan Rincon, CEO of Avianca, who declares that he wants his airline to be
“a digital company that flies planes”.
But on the other hand, the reaction of logistic companies are “struggling to keep up”
The reason?
According to a survey to 350 supply chain & operations professionals 95% stated that they “are not fully capitalizing on the potential benefits yet” mainly due to non-technological-related reasons, such as resistance to change in their organization, organizational silos and legacy systems as roadblocks, and ability to adopt a partnership approach and sharing data.
