Supply chain leaders are confronting an unparalleled triple threat: generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is altering job roles; consumer expectations are shifting; and global disruptions are challenging the fabric of supply chain operations. Adding to the pace of change, by 2035, 45% of supply chains are expected to be mostly autonomous (e.g., robots in warehouses and stores, driverless forklifts and trucks, delivery drones and fully automated planning).¹ While supply chains must transform to meet these challenges, it is crucial that the supply chain workforce also keeps pace as technological progress and innovation accelerate exponentially.
