Talking Supply Chain Podcast: The supply chain is dead. Long live the ecosystem

Ask any group of supply chain manager what are their most pressing issues, and finding talent is likely to top the list. One potential untapped labor resource is people with disabilities. It takes imagination and planning, but the disabled community can bring real value to an organization.

On this episode of Talking Supply Chain, Jim Tompkins, one of the industry’s best-known thought leaders, discusses why the linear supply chain is no longer up to the task and supply chain ecosystems point the way to the future. Tompkins also discusses the technologies that will make it possible.

Be sure to listen wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to read Tompkin’s article in Supply Chain Management Review.
