OUR VALUES IN ACTION ⭐ At COBMEX®, our core values drive everything we do. Our ongoing series showcases how our values come alive through our team's personal journeys. Today we learn about the principle of accountability with Shazam Shah: “As the Distribution and Operations Manager, I understand the role accountability plays in our operations. Every shipment and delivery timeline depends on the dedication and reliability of our team. From coordinating raw materials to ensuring on-time deliveries, accountability is the compass guiding us through the intricacies of our supply chain. At COBMEX®, it’s not just about fulfilling orders, it’s about honoring our promises and exceeding expectations.”

During the period 2001 to 2005, I gave several strategy presentations on De Beers Group to business schools and other interested groupings. The first one, of 2001 (https://lnkd.in/dukvP7cU ) talked about the separation of management and operational ties with Anglo American. The last one in 2005 (https://lnkd.in/d5743Ytn ) looked at the transition from a listed to a private company. The presentations in-between (all available on my SlideShare site: https://lnkd.in/dpePWU2h ) look at how the strategy unfolds. Perhaps, useful lessons seeing De Beers maybe looking at a change in corporate structure? My mother always said to me "learn the lessons of history". This maxim should hold true here. #diamonds #strategy

In general, supply chains are long and complex but still flexible: designed to adapt and efficiently navigate through occasional issues. However, what has happened to global logistics since 2020 is a perfect storm of five or six crises which not only put pressure on lead times, but also the supply chain itself.
