- Supply chain transformation is often discussed through the lens of technology. What continues to interest me is the leadership side of the equation: how organizations build the confidence, alignment, and decision processes needed to act when conditions change. Matthias Leimer's recent article explores this topic through the concept of decision velocity.

- I believe the most useful AI conversations in supply chain start with decision quality. Where can AI improve the decisions that teams need to make, and where do the fundamentals matter more? Bluecrux's new white paper with Supply Chain Now takes a grounded look at that question across four recurring supply chain challenges: system data that no longer reflects operational reality, inventory that is visible but difficult to explain, governance gaps that slow action, and hidden lead time in quality and compliance.
