Description

In this high-energy episode, we're joined by Jonathan Wright, Managing Partner of Finance and Supply Chain Transformation at IBM, to reflect on how the supply chain industry has changed over the past few decades, and where it's headed. Key topics include forecasting innovation, leveraging supply chain's newfound seat at the decision-makers table for continued innovation, the intersection of technology, people, and customers, talent attraction and retention, and why sustainability is a key characteristic of robust supply chains. The pandemic proved just how agile and innovative we can be in the face of uncertainty. Jonathan warns us why we must keep up this momentum in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Just over 20 years ago I arrived in the UK with less than £1,000 to my name. I knew that the only way to succeed was to never settle for “good enough.” Through a mixture of hard work, humility and quite frankly dogged determination I managed to transform my life. Fast forward to the present day and I’m now the Co-Founder and CEO of The Future Insights Network, a fast-growing network of over 130,000 manufacturing, supply chain, and digital transformation leaders. Yes, my life is intense, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. On this podcast I will be sitting down with globally renowned thought leaders from the world of supply chain, manufacturing and business to bring you refreshingly down-to-earth conversations with the people responsible for transforming our everyday lives. If I have learnt anything from my 25 years working in senior leadership positions is that whilst change is almost inevitable, true transformation is very much a conscious choice. My question for you therefore is, are you ready to be transformed? I’m Maria Villablanca and this is Transform Talks.
