“Butch Bradley, which was a nickname Ed would earn in his childhood, saw his parents worked tirelessly to provide for the family. On some of those days, he’d see his parents work 20 hours, but they would find a way to make time for their son. And they would always be encouraging of him. In fact, years later at Bradley would say in an interview that his parents always told him, “you can be anything you want, kid.” And if you’re told that often enough, as it would say, you start to believe it.”

The Buzz: Decision Velocity, ISO 25500 & the AI-Driven Supply Chain Reset

On this episode of The Buzz, we tackle a word that might define 2026 for supply chain leaders: velocity. Not just speed for speed’s sake, but smarter, faster, more confident decision-making in a world shaped by tariff volatility, regulatory shifts, and rapidly advancing AI.
