Supply Chain Next

Supply Chain Next is a podcast series focused on the digitization of the enterprise supply chain.

We dive into the tectonic shifts happening today for supply chain organizations, as they begin to embrace technology to optimize, create efficiencies, drive lower costs, and improve margins. We aim to understand what these changes really mean, not only for the organizations and leaders with in them, but also what does takes to be relevant in supply chain over the next 10 years. We are sitting upon one of the biggest economic tsunamis to come online since the internet itself. How will supply chain organizations use this opportunity to dramatically change the landscape? Supply Chain Next is here to better understand just that.
