Getting started with AI in supply chain: don’t be afraid!
IN-PERSON EVENT
Dinner Location: OneFifth
How can you incorporate a human-centered AI strategy to create more accurate forecasts, better understand drivers of supply and demand, and reduce manual effort?
Welcome to this Meet the Boss event in partnership with Kinaxis.
When a single tweet can change everything, yesterday’s data is no match for today’s reality. Companies must proactively address risks and opportunities with a comprehensive grasp of end-to-end business consequences. Businesses need to orchestrate their supply chains, not just manage them.
The solution lies in embracing a new approach - one delivering agility by bridging the planning-execution gap, promoting collaboration, and enabling swift adaptation. AI can add horsepower to your engine, so don’t be afraid to get started with AI in your supply chain! Start where you are, with expert knowledge of your business and data, connect your islands of isolation, and lead the change for your team to leverage AI:
• AI should augment humans who provide the 3 C’s: context, collaboration and conscience. Models cannot derive meaning from context, critical in so many areas, nor can they collaborate and build relationships to solve problems of conscience, including addressing issues like sustainability or human rights in supply chains.
• The power of AI must be democratized. Increase the scope and impact of AI by enabling more people to use it, without requiring technical proficiency. Foster trust through interpretable and human-centric AI.
• Data is hugely important to AI. And as with any application that relies on data – the cleaner, the better.
Ultimately, transparency dismantles silos, establishing a shared source of truth that guides actionable insights and decision-making. So, what does this entail and where do we start?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts and providing you with the right discussions to keep you on course, every course.
Bon Appetit!
Discussion topics
AI-powered technologies bring powerful capabilities to help address the kinds of complex problems supply chains face.
The impact and benefits of AI on supply chain management
McKinsey talks about it in a recent article titled, “Ten unsung digital and AI ideas shaping business”. They say that how well companies embrace their knowledge dividend will come down to how well they harness their data strategy. That’s because without good, clean data that is easily and responsibly accessible across the business, it will be impossible to generate business, operational and AI value.
