Just listened to an eye-opening podcast by The New Warehouse featuring Chantelle Fitzgerald of Mindset Strategies. The conversation about mindfulness in the supply chain industry couldn’t be more relevant. Incorporating mindfulness practices can lead to better decision-making, enhanced team collaboration, and greater resilience. As a supply chain professionals, we deal with constant changes and pressures, making mindfulness an essential tool for maintaining our mental health and effectiveness.

Lately, I’ve been immersed in a lot of reading, inspired by selections from Brian Evergreen and content on Decision Intelligence by Cassie Kozyrkov. Reflecting on Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s "Anti-fragile" and "The Black Swan," alongside Gartner's focus on anti-fragile supply chains, has been enlightening. Regardless of the opinions on hype or buzzwords, there’s substantial value in the ideas. They explore organizational dynamics, the importance of maintaining our humanity amidst technological advancements, improving decision-making processes, and transforming supply chains into competitive advantages during black swan events. Key themes that emerge include visibility, speed, and accuracy of decisions, expecting the unexpected, fostering an engaged and diverse team, identifying hidden opportunities, and taking decisive action. These elements converge to create truly anti-fragile organizations, supply chains, and businesses. By the way, these themes can apply to your personal life....Whether it is physical, mental (learning or even seeking help), health, relational with family, or ordering food at a restaurant (what is my decision tree at Jersey Mike's?)

Supply chain resilience requires a shift from a triangular model to pentagonal approach, which is a key insight in our new Capgemini Invent and Kuehne+Nagel blog post!  The traditional supply chain model focused on three dimensions: cost, cash, and service. But today, two other dimensions are equally critical: resilience and #sustainability. Our latest blog explores this transition and emerging strategies to build robust supply chains that can thrive despite volatility. 🔗 Read our blog today: https://lnkd.in/dPxPC4ej Learn how industry-leading organizations are using advanced technologies and strategic partnerships to enhance visibility, collaboration, and agility.  #IntelligentSupplyChainOperations #CapgeminiInvent #JoergJunghannsOnSupplyChain #SupplyChainInnovation Capgemini Business Services

I’ve read a few people say that “you will not be replaced by AI, but you might be replaced by someone that knows how to use it”. Not my statement, but I agree with it. As AI is being increasingly considered as a tool to assist in risk mitigation and promote operational efficiency/resilience, it's becoming more important to know how to use it. Recently, Fast Company in partnership with SAP hosted an experts gathering to discuss the potential of AI to provide responses amidst the complexities of the global market. AI has the ability to monitor real-time trends, anticipate potential supply chain issues, and offer insights for more informed decision-making. This includes the capability to model hypothetical scenarios and develop plans to address unforeseen events, such as global crises or geopolitical changes. I'm anxious to see how we can use AI to run leaner and smoother operations in the industry. #AI #operational_efficiency #resilience #global_market #supply_chain #decision_making For curiosity, the text above is not 100% the one I had originally written. I wrote it differently and then selected the "Rewrite with AI" functionality just for the fun of it and ended up publishing this hybrid version. AI tools became very popular for uses like writing a text, capturing meeting notes, editing pictures, answering questions and some other productivity-related topics. For some companies the ability to narrate a story is very useful and for others it might even already be part of everyday decision-making process. It is helpful and it can even be fun. Look forward to reading/experiencing more business cases in supply chain resiliency and talking more about this as a reality instead of a potential. https://lnkd.in/gwpas8Jb

Reading Radically Human: How Technology is Transforming and Shaping Our Future In this book, several key points stood out to me: 1. Moderna’s Technology Strategy: Moderna’s strategy revolves around six key digitization building blocks: cloud enablement, data integration, IoT, automation, analytics, and AI. While the book delves into these in more detail, it’s crucial to highlight that a significant part of Moderna’s success and speed during the COVID-19 pandemic was due to having these systems in place since 2010. 2. Radically Human Experiences: The concept of designing radically human experiences extends beyond traditional customer experience to encompass a broader range of interactions, including those of employees. This approach seeks to create more expansive and inclusive experiences that benefit everyone involved. 3. Key Themes for Transformation: The book discusses three key themes for leveraging technology: Replatforming: Committing to cloud technology to enhance capabilities and scalability. Reframing: Viewing technology as a driver of innovation, accessible to both technical and non-technical employees through tools like low-code development platforms. This also includes allocating more of the IT budget towards innovation. Reach: Striving to provide exceptional experiences for both customers and employees. 4. Future of Work: The term “future of work” is frequently mentioned, but the strategies outlined—such as integrating advanced technologies across the supply chain—are essential for making a company a desirable place to work and do business with. I argue that adopting these strategies is crucial for maintaining relevance in the next decade.

In today's fast-paced and dynamic work environment, empowering teams has become more crucial than ever. By empowering our teams, we not only boost their confidence and motivation, but we also foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and growth. Empowered teams have the autonomy to make decisions, take ownership of their work, and contribute their unique skills and perspectives. When individuals feel empowered, they become more engaged and committed to achieving shared goals. They feel valued and trusted, which in turn enhances their job satisfaction and overall well-being. As leaders, it is our responsibility to create an environment that encourages and supports team empowerment. Let's embrace the power of teamwork and empower our teams to drive success together! Together, we can achieve greatness! #EmpoweringTeams #Teamwork #Success #Leadership #Collaboration #Innovation

🚢 Global Schedule Reliability Drops: Impact on Supply Chains and Consumers The latest Sea-Intelligence report reveals a significant drop in global schedule reliability, reversing the trend of improvement seen earlier this year. This decline exacerbates the already challenging logistics landscape, leading to delays and increased costs across supply chains. For end consumers, this means higher prices and potential shortages of goods. The situation underscores the urgent need for enhanced operational efficiencies and strategic planning within the maritime industry to mitigate further disruptions. https://lnkd.in/e43kHA3k #Logistics #SupplyChain #MaritimeIndustry #GlobalTrade #ConsumerImpact #SeaFreight #SupplyChainManagement #GlobalSupplyChain #Shipping #Freight #Transportation #Procurement

Great read from Tim Payne on his “aha moments” about #antifragility. For a supply chain to respond with the right level of agility and responsiveness, it must deeply understand the impact of uncertainty. The challenge is that most supply chains lack this knowledge, causing them to struggle when faced with major uncertainties. Highly encourage you to read in full! https://lnkd.in/gUYqxpEd #gartnersupplychain #supplychainleaders #supplychain

The experts at Gartner shared highlights from their Supply Chain Symposium/Expo last month. You can check out the opening keynote, areas of focus, and top trends in the industry coming out of the event. For me, the standout takeaway was Ankur Mehta‘s discussion on the need for better real-time decision execution in the face of disruptions. With only 7% of supply chain leaders reporting successful real-time decision execution, it’s planning solutions like those from Valizant, Inc. that are most needed in the industry. https://lnkd.in/gJzWw32v #gartner #supplychainleaders #supplychain
