Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 187: Across Logistics: The Future of Supply Chain Visibility, AI, and Business Networks
Q: What real-world examples can you share of how better visibility data has helped a company improve decision making or a business outcome?
Karsten Schmidt describes using origin tracking to monitor containers from assignment through pickup and port arrival, helping importers identify delays and missed vessel allocations. Warehouse geofencing can reveal containers left standing or not unloaded, while supply chain velocity mapping helps identify bottlenecks affecting inventory.
Episode 187: Across Logistics: The Future of Supply Chain Visibility, AI, and Business Networks
Q: What major shifts are you seeing today in the supply chain visibility market, and why is this such an important moment for the industry?
Danilo Angelinetta says visibility has shifted from an operational convenience to a board-level necessity as geopolitical and climate-related disruption, regulatory pressure, and global competition increase. It helps companies anticipate component availability, maintain production, respond to disruptions, and allocate resources.
Episode 185: A Conversation with Kearney: Why is the Supply Chain Moving to the Center of Companies' Strategy?
Q: What does successful AI adoption actually look like in Supply Chain Operations, and how do you achieve the expected outcomes and exceed them as well?
Gandhi recommends defining outcome metrics before implementation, changing organizational processes alongside technology, and planning for the effects across partners, suppliers, customers, and distributors. AI is most useful where new information arrives quickly and decisions must respond.
Episode 185: A Conversation with Kearney: Why is the Supply Chain Moving to the Center of Companies' Strategy?
Q: Nearly 70% of COOs expect double-digit revenue growth despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Why are they seeing that, and what is giving them such confidence?
Gandhi says COOs expect growth from innovation, faster development and scaling of new products, and operational efficiency that helps companies deliver where demand exists. He notes that their expectations are not primarily based on price increases, acquisitions, or financial engineering.
Episode186 : How Conversational and Agentic AI are reshaping supply chain with Lukas Huber, Deloitte
Q: What are the main risks when moving from conversational to agentic AI in supply chain, and how should organizations think about governance, accountability, and controls?
Huber says agentic AI can create process risks if it acts on misleading information, uses the wrong data, or fails to complete a task. He recommends governance designed into the system, with controls for authorized data access, human approvals, limited and monitored execution rights, and clear accountability.
