Episode notes

My guest on this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast is Paige Cox (aka @weicox_paige on Twitter). Paige is Senior Vice President and Head of Digital Supply Chain Networks development at SAP.

We have talked about business networks on the podcast in previous episodes (the one with Marcell Vollmer and more recently the show with Josh Greenbaum), but with Paige leading SAP’s Business Network development, I was very keen to get her perspective on the topic.

I asked Paige to introduce herself, which she did at 00:29

Then at 02:17 I asked Paige to set the context by telling us how she defines a Digital Supply Chain and she gave a great, comprehensive response

So then at 06:46 I asked Paige to explain what a Business Network is and for a couple of examples

At 13:37 I asked Paige how to overcome the fact that growing networks is challenging because the Network Effect means that networks become more valuable with every additional node. But how to grow to a big enough size to be of value…

At 21:46 I asked Paige if now finally after many years in the making, are Business Networks finally coming into their own…

Finally, at 26:10 I asked Paige if there was any question I didn’t ask her, that she wished I had and she told me about Desire Delivered!
