In this episode of The Agile Supply Chain Podcast, McKinsey & Company Senior Expert Robert Cantow explains why optimizing patient outcomes requires much more than just an ERP system. He also explains why it’s important to develop a technology road map and what you can do to avoid the dangers of “pilot purgatory.”

Key Takeaways

• The pharma supply chain is getting more complex and, as a result, it now takes more than enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to deliver the supply chain capabilities patients require.
• It’s important to build agility into your strategic thinking and to create a roadmap for incorporating new technologies into your supply chain operations.
• A good first step toward achieving agility is developing the ability to rapidly sense and respond to supply chain disruptions.
