In this podcast, host Caroline Chumakov is joined by Mike Griswold to discuss trends and insights that have emerged from this year’s Top 25. They include the four following macro trends from the world’s leading supply chain organizations:

• Chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) have begun to evolve into executives who have to navigate and orchestrate across ecosystems.
• Organizations are recognizing that supply chains must become more self-stabilizing and able to deal with disruption.
• Substantial progress is being made on broader sustainability agendas.
• As supply chains engage in digital transformation, human-centric digital automation has started to become more prevalent. Organizations are beginning to consider the convergence of people and technology.

Mike Griswold is a research vice president and team manager covering supply chain talent and sustainability. He and his team are responsible for assisting supply chain leaders in understanding and implementing demand-driven supply chain principles that improve the performance of their supply chain.
