It’s the C-suite's newest avenue for growth—learn how to wield intelligence across the supply chain and elevate your role from inventory to influencer.
The mover becomes the shaker
Supply chain and operations rarely enters the conversation as a driver of revenue in the boardroom. But at one out of five companies, supply chain executives are doing things differently. By embedding digital intelligence across the supply chain, they're driving growth and outcomes over efficiency and output.
These leaders are investing in digital innovation, analytics and talent while forging new relationships among C-suite peers and partners. The results? Insight-driven, personalized customer experiences that fuel enteprise growth. They're also exceeding ROIs—and setting themselves up to exploit the $14 trillion in value chain cost disruption expected over the next 10 years.
