Rick Jones — CEO
A consultative approach, well-earned credibility, and an innate creativity have enabled me to sustain success in both leadership and individual contributor roles; helping clients to see business challenges and opportunities through a different lens. Customer Experience is top of mind for boardrooms, to address shareholder growth, while Employee Engagement is the key to maximizing sustained value from your most important assets. Master both and you are well positioned to be a predator as opposed to prey in your industry. The key that connects them is an agile and tightly integrated value chain that begins with new product introduction and ends with managed end of life of older products, while spanning the continuum from long range strategic planning to minute by minute operational excellence that keeps everyone and everything on plan to meet your key objectives. SAP’s Design to Operate in a single suite of connected solutions with the critical aspect of time applied to leverage the appropriate horizons for Sales & Operations Planning to the freeze fences of production scheduling and warehouse management. This is the glue that enables your customer engagement strategies to ensure timely fulfillment to a customer of one, back into operations to your procurement processes, manufacturing and logistics resources and enterprise assets, ensuring that all ‘singing off the same song sheet’. This is the value proposition of SAP Digital Supply Chain. My academic background is engineering, and my personal passion is problem solving; there are few situations cannot be improved with thought and effort. Hence the Optimistic Anarchist label.
