Early in my career, supply chain management was viewed as a fundamental operational function—necessary, but not seen as a strategic asset. The primary focus was on moving products efficiently, reducing costs, and ensuring smooth logistics. Few companies considered the broader impact supply chain could have on business growth, resilience, and long-term success.
Today, that perception has shifted dramatically. Supply chain is no longer an afterthought; it’s a critical business driver, influencing revenue, customer experience, and competitive advantage. I’ve witnessed firsthand how companies that fail to evolve—those still relying on fragmented, manual processes—struggle to meet growing demands. Conversely, those that embrace AI, automation, and data-driven strategies are achieving new levels of efficiency and agility.
That’s why I am launching The AI-Powered Supply Chain—to provide insights into the transformations reshaping supply chain management and offer practical, actionable strategies for leaders looking to stay ahead. This series is designed to cut through the complexity and highlight what’s working now in supply chain innovation.
In recent years, global disruptions have put supply chains under extreme pressure. The pandemic exposed weaknesses in rigid, outdated systems, while ongoing labor shortages, geopolitical instability, and shifting consumer demands have forced companies to rethink their approach. Some organizations have quickly adapted, implementing real-time analytics, AI-driven forecasting, and automation to create more flexible and resilient supply chains. Others, still reliant on traditional methods, are struggling to keep up.
The stakes are higher than ever. Long planning cycles, siloed operations, and reactive decision-making are no longer sustainable. Companies that modernize their supply chains will strengthen their ability to navigate uncertainty, while those that resist change risk falling behind.
Each edition of The AI-Powered Supply Chain will explore the intersection of technology, strategy, and leadership in supply chain transformation. Drawing from my experiences working with companies of all sizes, I will share insights on the most impactful shifts happening today. In this series, we will explore several key areas, including:
My goal for this newsletter is to serve as a space for ongoing dialogue, insight, and practical strategies to help leaders navigate supply chain transformation.
