A Don’t Touch Supply Chain Strategy Must Now Dominate The Future!

A “Don’t Touch” Strategy will Dramatically Lean out your Supply Chain!

The overarching strategy for limiting exposure to, and spreading of, the Coronavirus is that of Social Distancing. We are all instructed to keep 6 feet apart from anyone, wear masks, and avoid any social gatherings and don’t touch. How does this relate to a Don’t Touch Supply Chain strategy?

Even with social distancing, the global lockdowns, temporary closures of many businesses and disruptions of economies everywhere there are still Supply Chains in action, as disrupted as they may be.

Truckers are still moving goods to points of consumption and essential services such as grocery stores are still in operation, providing the basic goods we all need to live. Everyone involved in these Supply Chains is abiding by the social distancing and protective mandates we all are adhering to.

How can Supply Chains be changed in the future to make them more robust and resilient and less disrupted by any future catastrophes, and god forbid, a future pandemic?

One approach is to develop and deploy Don’t Touch Supply Chain strategies!

Harnessing the Power of ChatGPT and AI in Supply Chain!

What is ChatGPT?

In the era of digital transformation, organizations are constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance their supply chain management (SCM) processes and create the Digital Supply Chain of the future.

One such revolutionary technology is ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is a sophisticated language model that can understand and generate human-like text.

Modernization is not Digital Transformation!

What is a Digital Transformation?

I recently had the privilege of attending a program at MIT’s Sloan School of Management about Organizational Design for Digital Transformation. My curiosity on the topic, inspired by the daily barrage of articles, emails, white papers, and webinar invitations on digital transformation, piqued my desire to get to the bottom of what it is or isn’t by way of an informed, expert source.

I must say, MIT opened my eyes to another way of thinking.
