Supply chain specialist joins organizational development consultancy to target supply chain transformation
Waltham, MA November 10, 2003 Supply chain consultancy Avicon is partnering with DeCava Consulting to supplement Avicon's supply chain process and technology expertise with DeCava's organizational development expertise.
Organizational development is often overlooked and yet is critical to successful supply chain transformation, argues Avicon, which analyzes a supply chain utilizing its own PICO framework that assesses the supply chain from the point of view of process, information, cash and organization.
Under the partnership, DeCava will analyze the people, process and priorities of a business entity, and Avicon will then configure process building blocks into a supply chain integrated operating system that is targeted to achieve that entity's specific business objectives.
Together DeCava and Avicon have developed and defined Avicon's Supply Chain "Organizational" DNA, which consists of distinguishing organizational strategies and capabilities practiced by supply chain leaders. The two companies are working together on developing and implementing the organizational components of a specific company's supply chain operating system.
"Our partnership with DeCava Consulting is focused on the 'organizational' view of the supply chain," said Dave Demers, president of Avicon. "DeCava's skills augment our own and help ensure our customers have a motivated workforce, customer loyalty and revenue growth."
"Understanding and resolving organizational issues such as customer care strategies, cross-functional management and staff accountability are key components in achieving a company's financial goals," said Patrick Sullivan, partner, at DeCava. "Our partnership with Avicon ensures that our customers receive the substantial expertise to build strong, committed organizations with customer-focused strategies to achieve and sustain supply chain transformation."
