Future Value Chain 2020: Building Strategies for the New Decade

“2020 Future Value Chain: Building Strategies for the New Decade” is the third report published as part of the Future Value Chain initiative, a think tank designed to develop a collective future vision and response for our industry in light of the rapid changes impacting consumer goods and retail companies.
The report is published under the auspices of The Consumer Goods Forum, with support from Capgemini, HP and Microsoft. “2020 Future Value Chain” provides a framework to help the industry and individual companies understand the trends that impact our business, envision how they will impact, and then formulate plans to benefit our business from those changes.
The report draws on insights from nearly 200 retailers, manufacturers, academia, logistics service providers, consultants and subject matter specialists worldwide in order to present a comprehensive vision of the industry’s future. This ensures that the report reflects what our industry feels – it is truly an initiative by the industry, for the industry.
This new study follows two earlier reports titled “2016 Future Value Chain” and “2018 Future Value Chain: Succeeding in a Volatile Market”.
