Start with one focused network rather than trying to connect everything at once. This creates early value while building the foundation needed to scale across your enterprise.

Begin by selecting a network with meaningful decisions-manufacturing, warehousing, or transportation often work well. The key is choosing based on decision value, how often those decisions recur, data availability, and your ability to see outcomes. Manufacturing is frequently a strong starting point because capacity decisions affect service, inventory, cost, and growth.

Your first implementation should establish reusable definitions, governed data access, specialized models as services, and clear decision ownership with policies and escalation rules. This foundation lets you expand later. Establish a baseline too-understand how long decisions currently take, where information comes from, and what outcomes follow.

Expand by adding networks that your initial decisions depend on, not by trying to centralize everything. This keeps specialized functions in place while creating the connective intelligence layer your teams need.
