[Risk] Our systems and supply chain infrastructures lack the flexibility and capability to support the delivery of our strategic plans [Action] We have embarked on a programme to ensure that we focus our information technology resources on a combination of making the necessary investment to maintain or extend the useful lives of our existing technologies and developing solutions that directly support revenue generative opportunities. Where possible, we are also seeking to eliminate complex or heavily bespoke technologies that may hold back new and innovative customer offers. As we consolidate our divisional management structures we are looking to identify and implement efficiencies and opportunities to leverage our capabilities across our supply chain. For example, we are currently integrating fulfilment efficiencies across our home delivery operations in the UK, and investing in direct import logistics solutions for our Eastern European businesses.

Our ability to deliver the targets set by our seven steps to ‘Delivering Value’ strategy will undoubtedly place increasing demands on our existing supply chain and systems infrastructure and technologies. There is a risk that our infrastructure will lack the necessary scalability, flexibility and resilience to support its successful execution.
