Description

On this episode of Transform Talks, Randy Bradley, Associate Professor of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management,  University of Tennessee, Knoxville, joins host Maria Villablanca. 
Randy begins by discussing Intelligent Assistants (IA) versus Artificial Intelligence (AI). A solution, tool, model, or algorithm will make decisions rather than augment the talent. He believes thinking about it in this manner will help understand the utilization of the technology. 
Randy has decades of experience in supply chain and IT research and strategy. The advice he gives on rethinking the way technology is invested in and deployed can make all the difference for businesses. It's a business need, not a technological need.
He breaks down how more focus should be placed on improving the workforce experience. Decisions with the greatest impact may be made at the C-suite level, but they're infrequent. So, decisions affecting operations on the ground level happen all the time.
Listen to the episode now to learn more timely technological advice from Randy.

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.
