executive decision-making. Furthermore, Jada is a commanding, yet highly collaborative leader. She holds
vendors and carriers to incredibly high standards without damaging the long-term strategic relationships
required to secure capacity during peak seasons.

5. CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK & AREAS FOR GROWTH
To prepare for a progression into a Director of Supply Chain position, Jada should focus on the following
developmental areas:
Multi-Tier Supplier Risk Auditing:
Jada currently has excellent visibility into our Tier-1 suppliers. However,
recent disruptions have shown vulnerability further up the chain. She must lead an initiative to map and
audit our Tier-2 and Tier-3 raw material suppliers to identify hidden geographical or financial
concentration risks.
Executive Storytelling:
While Jada leads the S&OP meetings with immense technical authority, she can
occasionally overwhelm the Sales and Marketing leadership with overly dense logistical data. She should
focus on elevating her executive storytelling—distilling complex freight and inventory constraints into
clear business impacts (revenue at risk, margin erosion) to drive faster consensus among non-supply
chain executives.

new European Distribution Center (EDC), ensuring go-live by Q3.

Goal 3 (Professional Certification):
Attain the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP)
credential by Q2 to formalize her advanced mastery of end-to-end supply chain design.

Transition the current S&OP process into a fully mature Integrated Business
Planning (IBP) model, incorporating financial forecasting directly into the operational planning cycle.
