Interactive Session
Connected Data: The Foundation of a Resilient Supply Chain
Speaker
Sunder Balakrishnan
Director, Supply Chain Practice
Speaker
Hylke Visser
Director, Neo4j
Our speakers shared their experiences and insights on
how a connected supply chain ecosystem powered by
“Connected Data” can help companies break down
silos, quicken decision-making, improve resilience, as
well as standardize & scale operations & technologies.
The takeaways from the roundtable were clear:
Customer experience levels worldwide have fallen drastically, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, with supply chains becoming increasingly complex, companies need help maintaining a balance between high customer service levels & excessive inventories.
The fundamental underlying problem is a disconnected supply chain with data silos and the inability to connect one event or risk in the supply chain with other risks affecting the supply chain’s resilience, agility, and responsiveness.
