Abstract:

We are at the intersection of two major trends: the continued rise in companies outsourcing logistics operations, and the growing focus overall on innovation in corporations across the globe, with such innovation seen as a key to revenue and margin growth.

Put these two trends together and it seems clear: innovation in the relationship between shippers and 3PLs is critical, both to support corporate innovations and to bring new strategies and practices into the supply chain.

With that backdrop, SCDigest and JDA recently completed new research study on innovation in shipper-3PL relationships, with the goal of obtaining the perspectives of both shippers and service providers on this increasingly important topic.

The results of the survey, unveiled in a new report launched with this Videocast, answer questions such as:

• What role should 3PLs really play in supply chain innovation?

• How aggressive should 3PLs really be in developing process and technology innovation capabilities?

• What are the barriers on both sides to enhanced innovation?

• How do practices like gainsharing and "vested outsourcing" intersect with innovation?

We will tackle all of these important issues and more during this excellent program.

Not to be missed by anyone interested in outsourced logistics and supply chain innovation generally.

All registrants will be sent a copy of the report will all the data shortly after the Videocast.

This Videocast will feature SCDigest editor Dan Gilmore, and Danny Halim and Lori Harner of JDA.
