Network of Networks – A Call to Action (Supply Chain Insights)

January 11th, 1pm ET

We are all adjusting to the idea of using webs, ecosystems, or networks to model our operations instead of the traditional linear supply chain approach. But that doesn’t eliminate the need to invest in integration of data and information. In this webinar, the Supply Chain Insights team will talk about bringing together networks to foster actionability. And if you just can’t wait until Wednesday, you can listen to this podcast on the topic from May 2016 featuring SCI’s Lora Cecere.

Ask the Expert: A Year in Review (IACCM)

January 12th, 11am ET

“Leaders are those who operate at the forefront of change, helping their organizations to adjust and adapt.” That quote, which starts the event description, gives us a hint as to what the focus of this IACCM retrospective will be about. If leading forward looking change is the hallmark of a true leader, understand the past is the key to an innovative future.
