Disruptive Innovations and Technologies For Supply Chain of Vaccine In Difficult Terrain
Compliments of the season! In December 2017, I quoted IBM's report that the smarter supply chain of the future will be far more Instrumented, Interconnected and Intelligent. To advance this and position supply chain for the future and in partial fulfillment of my Masters in Strategic Supply Chain Management at the University of Roehampton, I ran a research titled; Emerging Innovations and Technologies in Vaccine Supply Chain, Nigeria. At the time I considered five major technologies and innovations with potentials to change the paradigms in the supply chain space. My intentions then was to bring the awareness into my space (public health), assess the preparedness, highlight confounding factors and set the agenda in the next steps towards possible adoption for supply chain improvement and the optimization of resources in the Low and Middle Income Countries. In the quest, I used different models and theories (like UTUAT, TAM, TOC and Diffusion of Innovations) to pose
