I am excited to be part of a rock star panel this week hosted by Reuters to talk about a hot topic, #artificialintelligence in #supplychains! I was lucky enough to host a fireside chat on AI last week at an event Kinaxis hosted with Emma Rolfe of Colgate, so I know how good she is. But I've had multiple people sing the praises of both Joanna Kostecka of Microsoft and Imara Charles Ph.D, so I know good stuff is in store. We're going to talk about critical topics like: - how to make AI models useful, balancing the drive for accuracy with adoption and impact - navigating the mix of automation and human insight to increase productivity while ensuring human domain knowledge isn't "lost in translation" - combining AI with concurrency to mitigate trade-offs and help manage disruptions, ensuring streamlined supply chain management that delivers the value your C-suite expects And what a delight that this all-women panel isn't for Women's History Month or International Women's Day or any other cause. The only reason for these women to be on the panel is that they are rock stars and I'm lucky enough to join them! 💪 🌠 🚀 Register here to join: https://lnkd.in/g3kUWxnR
