Guest: Joseph Jang, Partner @ Pathstone Partners

Topic: How to drive and scale change & impact (cost savings & margin improvement) to your organization

- Intro

- Driving Change - Key Formula - (1) Addressable Spend x (2)

Yield x (3) Speed to Value

* 1 – Increase Addressable Spend

- 30% of spend is represented by traditional supply chain

areas of influence (clinical supplies, implants, distribution)

- We need to leverage power of informal networks to scale

change; supply chain teams are brokers of networks

- Benefit of increasing addressable spend? Diversification

effect; every category represents a different risk vs. reward

ratio; stock market vs. mutual fund approach

* 2 – Increase Yield & Results

- Definition: How effective are we in driving results with what’s

given?

- We need to pursue a multi-value lever approach beyond price

to drive results

- Benefit: Leverage resides with you as the organization +

optionality

* 3 - Speed to Value

- Definition: How quickly can we drive results with what’s given

in an annual time period?

- Fuel vs. Friction Concept

- Benefit: Increase your speed by up to 2x by removing

psychological barriers (friction) to adopt and scale change

- Scaling Change – Two key concepts

* Every successful change effort takes the form of the S-

Curve; we need to find the early adopters and mavens to let

your change effort spread like wildfire

* Forgetting Curve – supply chain leaders need to give

themselves more credit! Constantly communicate progress

and wins or change efforts will be forgotten
