Talking Supply Chain Podcast: It’s All a Matter of Choreography
On this episode, Stanley Fawcett and Michael Knemeyer discuss what supply chain managers can learn from Cirque du Soleil, SCMR’s Editorial Director Bob Trebilcock hosts.
We talk a lot about orchestration in supply chain management. Stanley Fawcett and Michael Knemeyer think there’s a better way to approach the discipline: Choreography. The ability to do it well is what separates Cirque du Soleil from every other entertainment vehicle in its niche, and explains why Ringling Brothers, once the Greatest Show on Earth, failed while Cirque thrives.
On this episode in our series on the supply chain manager of the future, Stan and Mike define supply chain choreography, and then walk us through what supply chain managers can learn from the approach Cirque takes to create and deliver a new show. There are lessons for even the most experienced supply chain leader.
