What if you could have whatever you want, produced and provided immediately and affordably no matter how customized--with minimal environmental impact? Products, services, and experiences on demand. Just-in-time anything, anywhere, anytime. This radical change is underway, as digital technologies push the production and provision of value ever closer to the moment of demand.
Robert C. Wolcott and Kaihan Krippendorff provide an indispensable guide to the Proximity revolution, showing how it's transforming every industry--and our lives. Offering unparalleled foresight for leaders and innovators, they reveal how pervasive this trend will be. Proximity represents an entirely new way to serve customers, with critical implications for corporate strategy, investing, public policy, supply chain resilience, and sustainability. Incremental changes to existing business models won't suffice. Through interviews and compelling examples, Proximity shares stories of the people and companies leading the way. The book places rapidly advancing technologies--from generative AI and 3D printing to lab-grown meats, renewable energy, and virtual reality--in context and explores the factors accelerating the transformation. Proximity offers a playbook for business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs to win this rapidly emerging game--and for each of us to consider the implications for our careers, families, communities, and lives.
The challenges facing supply chain professionals are changing rapidly. Today, far from focusing on capital expenditures and logistics such as warehousing and distribution, supply chain executives are expected to understand all aspects of the business, appreciate the constraints and expectations of upstream and downstream partners, and possess sufficient technological savvy to navigate the bewildering array of options presented by Industry 4.0 and supply chain digitalization (SCD). This book is for them.
The Digital Supply Chain Challenge: Breaking Through 2nd Edtion is a distillation of the authors' 50+ years of combined supply chain experience, both at the coal face and in the classroom. Their insights and observations - captured in short articles and best-practice case studies - are brought together in one place for supply chain executives to consult at different times during their SCD voyage, to find benchmarks, relevant insights or even just to help formulate the right questions along the way. It is a sort of handbook to the essentials of digital supply chain transformation.
This new edition contains additional chapters on AI, an evaluation of Industry 4.0, why the promised fourth industrial revolution hasn't happened yet and new cases studies on Tesla, Heineken, L'Oreal and Zalando.
Senior executives and Organizational Resilience practitioners across organizations continue to focus on understanding their continuity risk profile. Making informed choices about continuity assessment, planning, and overall preparedness is vital. Implementing enhancements can demonstrate continuous and systemic improvement of an organization's risk posture. Ultimately, organizations need constant and comprehensive visibility across continuity-related activities to support their strategic and tactical decision-making needs. In other words, precise data is required for leaders to make data-driven decisions.
This book focuses on the often overlooked aspect of Organizational Resilience metrics. Candidly, when most leaders become interested in these metrics, it's due to an audit, crisis event, or customer complaint. Yet, the development and publishing of metrics can be daunting. While metrics are a science of statistics, they are also an art. What are the critical metrics best suited for your company culture? What industry-standard metrics can be leveraged? Do organizations continue to struggle to define the best organizational metrics for their Organizational Resilience management programs? How can they clearly understand and articulate the performance of such programs and, most importantly, their ability to recover from a disaster?
We have written this book to ease practitioners' strain when they kick off this initiative. From definition to building a plan with a maturity roadmap to learning how to tell the story behind the numbers to execution - this book is the playbook you need to deliver best-in-class metrics.

The authors of Lean UX and Sense and Respond return with this deeply practical guide to Objectives and Key Results.
OKRs are a simple but powerful goal-setting framework used by leading companies in every industry imaginable. This book will help you learn how to succeed with OKRs by using them to put your customers at the center of everything you do.
Every team and organization wants to improve. OKRs help you get better, because they help your teams focus on the right work. Too many companies waste time, money, and energy working on the wrong things. Why? We lose track of what our customers want and need.
Everyone has a customer. (Yes, everyone-that includes you.) We all make something in our work, and we make it for other people. Those other people are our customers-though you may call them patients, students, constituents, or even coworkers. Our success depends on how those customers respond to what we make-and they'll only respond positively if we deliver something that's valuable to them. So, to succeed, we must figure out who our customers are, what customer responses drive value, and how (and how much) to change our customers' behavior to achieve better results.
Objectives and Key Results help organizations do all of this by focusing teams' goals on the question, Who does what by how much?
However, using OKRs isn't just about writing goals in a new way. It requires changing the way you work, the way you think about your work, and the way you plan the work you'll do in the future.
In Who Does What by How Much? coauthors and OKR experts Jeff Gothelf and Josh Seiden provide a clear, how-to guide for employees in all industries to learn how to put customers front and center, so you can get to work on the right things, navigate uncertainty and achieve greater success.

The traditional linear supply chain is no longer fit for purpose, and organizations must redesign their supply chains to become more customer-driven, agile, resilient and sustainable.
Supply Chain Network Design shows how to design intelligent, agile supply chain networks in the age of geopolitical disruptions, fast-paced technological innovation and drive for more sustainable business. It outlines how to incorporate international relations and a global perspective into supply chain planning and actions and how to embed ESG and circular economy goals. It surveys the rapidly evolving technology landscape and how it impacts some companies and provides a competitive advantage to others. It also explores how to harness technologies such as robotic process automation, AI and machine-driven intelligence and the evolution of forecasting to demand sensing to enhance network design.
Sequential decision problems arise in virtually every human process. They span finance, energy, transportation, health, e-commerce, and supply chains and include pure learning problems that arise in laboratory or field experiments. They even cover search algorithms to maximize uncertain functions. An important dimension of every problem setting is the need to make decisions in the presence of different forms of uncertainty and evolving information processes.
Warren B. Powell's work in sequential decision problems started in the 1980s and spanned rail, energy, health, finance, e-commerce, supply chain management, and even learning for materials science. His work on a wide range of problems highlighted the importance of using a variety of methods. In the process, he came to realize that any sequential decision problem can be modeled using a single universal framework that involves searching over methods for making decisions.
The goal of this book is to enable readers to understand how to approach, model and solve a sequential decision problem. To that end, it uses a teach-by-example style to illustrate a modeling framework that can represent any sequential decision problem. It tackles the challenge of designing methods, called policies, for making decisions and describes four classes of policies that are universal in that they span any method that might be used; whether from the academic literature or heuristics used in practice. While this does not mean that every problem can be solved immediately, the framework helps avoid the tendency in the academic literature of focusing on narrow classes of methods.
