” In 2016, I was between startups. We all wanted to open a new venture in Bogota but were not sure what it would be. After physically seeing a lot of empty trucks in the streets and after a first-hand experience trying to buy a grill to cook some burgers over the weekend and the store not offering same-day delivery the idea just hit us. There could be something in connecting independent truck drivers with retailers through technology.”

The Secret Sauce: Tips for Leaders that Want to Scale AI Effectively

AI in the supply chain has moved well beyond the pilot stage, but for many organizations, it still hasn’t moved far enough. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton, together with co-host Jorge Morales, Global COO of ISCEA, is joined by Prabhat Pinnaka, Lead Product Manager for Supply Chain at Lowe’s Companies, Inc., and Advisory Board Member at ISCEA for a practical, been-there-done-that deep dive on AI-driven supply chain transformation. From what separates organizations that actually scale AI from those stuck in endless experimentation, to the guardrails every enterprise needs before letting AI execute autonomously, Prabhat brings a hard-won perspective from working with Fortune 50 companies across fulfillment, warehouse operations, and enterprise decision support. Jorge adds his lens on what it means to be AI-competent, not just AI-aware, and why that distinction will define the next generation of supply chain professionals. The conversation spans the full arc: change management, data integrity, bonded autonomy, and what it looks like when AI shifts a DC manager’s role from operational execution to strategic governance. If you’re navigating your own AI journey or building the next generation of supply chain talent, this one’s for you.   This episode is hosted by…
