Introducing Demand-Driven Service: Move Over DDSN (AMR)

Demand-driven supply networks (DDSNs) are often discussed in relation to consumer products, but sensing and responding to demand signals is a tremendous opportunity for post-sales services as well.

By discovering the service need, fulfilling it proactively, and then harvesting the knowledge, companies are building competitive advantages.
