Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 250 ratings
  • Topical and Insightful

    I’m a relatively new listener (about a month in), and I’ve really enjoyed the thoughtful, practical insights from industry leaders on what’s actually happening inside businesses today.

    What stands out most is the consistent reminder that AI adoption still comes back to practical business use cases — and that it requires the same sound operational discipline that has always mattered.

    Appreciate the grounded perspective. Keep up the great content.

  • Lacks depth and authenticity

    The presentation is a shallow, style-over-substance affair, delivered with stylistic parallels to a mega-church sermon. Expect meandering ramblings like forced analogies between football and supply chain management, and forced humor right when a topic is gaining any depth. Aimed squarely at the lowest common denominator.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Buzz: Data Gaps, Boeing's Comeback, & the $700B Returns Boom
Q: Ray, how wrong was I about the deceleration year and where did leadership focus actually land during disruption?
The reality was that execution and cost control mattered more than bold new growth during disruption; those who focused on execution and clear storytelling did best, while sustainability initiatives were often driven by cost pressures.
The Buzz: Data Gaps, Boeing's Comeback, & the $700B Returns Boom
Q: Let me ask you this, Ray, what trend are you looking at in manufacturing given the data from Manufacturing Dive?
A key trend is the increasing importance of a formal decision-making methodology to translate data into actions, enabling frontline employees to act on real-time insights without excessive approvals.
The Buzz: Cargo Theft, AI Gaps, and Rising Risk
Q: What are the most important mitigations to reduce cargo theft risk in a fractured, digital supply chain?
Increase granular visibility to identify vulnerabilities, avoid overreliance on generic tools, patch multiple vulnerability points rather than fixing a single issue, and prepare for a dynamic threat landscape by understanding evolving criminal methods and ensuring rapid response capabilities.
The Buzz: Cargo Theft, AI Gaps, and Rising Risk
Q: How should organizations approach AI readiness training given the disconnect between training and day-to-day tools used by employees?
Adopt a holistic, ongoing training strategy that aligns learning with the actual tools employees use, focus on aftercare and real-world application, and ensure there is clear, actionable guidance that translates AI concepts into everyday workflows.
The Buzz: Cargo Theft, AI Gaps, and Rising Risk
Q: What are three practical tips for supply chain professionals looking to optimize their resumes in a disrupted job market?
Quantify impact with hard metrics, show end-to-end supply chain relevance to indicate broader value, and use role-specific language and tools (like Excel, SAP, or Power BI) to demonstrate practical capability and alignment with the hiring organization's needs.
