Supply Chain Innovation - A Leveler?

In this podcast, host Thomas O’Connor and guest Eric O’Daffer explore the current state of innovations in supply chain-driven organizations through the lens of Gartner’s 2023 Power of the Profession Supply Chain Awards.

They discuss the Power of the Profession winners and highlight the major themes in supply chain innovations, but also focus intently on how small and mid-cap organizations can drive business value from their innovation efforts. Eric advises supply chain leaders on where to begin their innovation journeys, and how to systematize innovation. 

Eric O’Daffer is a VP Analyst in the Gartner Healthcare Supply Chain group. His concentration is on the end-to-end healthcare supply chain, starting at the point of patient care and looking back. He focuses most of his time with providers, examining how they best manage all the components of their supply chains. This involves both their internal processes, as well as best practices for partnering with their suppliers to optimize patient outcomes at the best-delivered cost possible.
