Gartner, the world’s leaders in information technology research, has once again partnered with The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) to produce their annual supply chain survey in the UK.
The Institute will partner with Gartner for the Gartner Supply Chain Survey 2016, after the success of last year’s first such survey ever to be fielded outside of the USA.
The purpose of this year’s survey is to examine the role technology plays in the supply chain, how supply chain organisations leverage technology for competitive advantage and to discover the changing views on how best to exploit technology within organisations.
The new CILT and Gartner research will explore the many interesting and valuable trends and practices in our supply chains and the Institute hopes that its members can offer their support by participating in the survey.
Kevin Richardson FCILT, Chief Executive, CILT said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for our members to use their expertise and invaluable industry knowledge to broaden the results of this survey and influence the future of our profession.”
John Dixon, Vice President, Gartner Research, says: “Working closely with the institute allows us to further interact with senior supply chain professionals from leading organizations and understand both their current challenges and future supply chain trends.
“This collaboration between Gartner and CILT allows us to enhance the way we source, exploit and share results and insights year on year and further develop actionable guidance to for the supply chain industry as a whole.”
As an incentive, study participants will receive free Gartner research for taking the time to complete the survey. They will have the option to download one of the following reports: The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 for 2016 or Cool Vendors in Supply Chain Technologies 2016.
