    E-commerce is not the goal
    Business Design

    Winning Business Designs create value by being perfectly
    calibrated to changing customer priorities and working hard
    to stay that way.
    Achieving Sustained Value Growth

    In a world of dynamic strategies, senior executives must answer two deceptively simple questions . . . over and over.

    Most supply chains cannot deliver
    Linked indirectly to customer demand (through guesses of demand for particular products/services)
    Complexity: vast array of products
    Build to stock
    Slow, sequential process
    Long lead times
    Low inventory turns
    Non-differentiated service
    Little digitization of supply chain
    The challenge: breakthroughs that create value
    Pursue specific customer segments
    Customer-tailored value propositions
    New choice, delivery, and operations
    Digital technology-enabled

    Still, e-commerce has redefined traditional logistics
    The dot.com lesson . . . "pure"asset light does not work well
    The Internet addresses only a subset of value chain activities
    Pure e-logistics has not yet been successful
