Imagine walking into your favorite store, eagerly anticipating a ‘big sale,’ only to find that it has turned into a ‘final markdown’ clearance. As a customer, you might score some great deals, but as a retailer, this signals a missed opportunity and a hit to the bottom line. This is the tale of many retailers who confuse a promo problem with a markdown problem, and it’s costing them more than just profits.

My LinkedIn news feed is full of congratulatory notes for companies listed on the Gartner Top 25 released yesterday. Tech companies celebrate their companies on the list, consultants give themselves pats on the back, and the companies making the list congratulate their employees. My issue is that the Gartner methodology celebrates underperformers. The lack of clarity and discipline in the methodology gives the industry a false signal to define supply chain excellence.

In 2016, we finished a study on continuous improvement. When I started this research project, I was busy. The survey was one of many, and I found the project relatively nondescript, bordering on boring. One of my lessons learned in completing survey-based research over the past twelve years, is that projects are full of surprises. The hypothesis that seems so right are often wrong, and surprises lay in each nook and cranny.
