Companies across the world rely on a complete suite of business activities and processes that go into creating a product or providing a service. Commonly referred to as Value Chains, these multiple stages in a product or service offering increasingly determine an enterprise’s efficiency, profit, and success. However, any Value Chain can only be as effective as the people behind it.
Though the world of business was already on the cusp of change in terms of technology and digitisation, the pandemic changed the way businesses thought, by placing the workforce in the ‘driver’s seat’ of a company’s growth. It was no longer about where people worked, or how many hours they put in; instead, it was about taking ownership and delivering results in the absence of structured workplaces. And the fact was, it took motivated employees and value chains to do this well, leading to a virtuous cycle of productivity and loyalty leading to customer retention and market growth for businesses.
With the pandemic slowing, but the new ways of working here to stay, companies are being pushed to adopt technologies and platforms faster to support this way of working. We’ve compiled 5 apps and platforms that can help companies get the best from their value chains in today’s world:
