“Business has incredible potential outside of building great jobs and creating economic stability for people. It has this ability to really transform our lives and be an incredible engine for good.”

– Megan McCamey, Founding Director of goBeyondProfit

 

Nearly every episode of Supply Chain Now ends with Scott Luton sharing the same sign off, “Do good. Give forward. Be the change that’s needed.” Few guests have lived out that idea better than Megan McCamey, Founding Director of goBeyondProfit, a network of more than 900+ Georgia CEOs. This is the latest in a string of philanthropic and community impact-driven efforts to which Megan has dedicated her time and talent.

Companies of all shapes and sizes have the ability to contribute to their local communities. By helping them learn from each other and build collective momentum, Megan has helped many executives get started on their own ‘do good’ journeys.

In this episode, Megan speaks with Kristi Porter, Enrique Alvarez, and Scott Luton about:

· When executive teams work with authenticity and generosity, they can achieve business value and community impact at the same time.

· The annual benchmarking activity that goBeyondProfit runs and what it has revealed about corporate generosity in the Atlanta area

· How important it is to have a formal communications strategy around community impact initiatives, both inside and outside of the company

Cadenas Poderosas con Inteligencia Artificial

En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en Español nos centramos en inteligencia artificial (IA) y su aplicación en cadena de suministro. Nuestro invitado Felipe Hernández, cofundador de DATUP, nos aclara los mitos en torno a la IA, destacando que no es magia y que no reemplazará a los humanos, sino que potenciará sus capacidades, ayudándolos a tomar decisiones estratégicas basadas en datos. Después de un juego de acrónimos de la industria, Felipe y Sofia se adentran a definir inteligencia artificial y hablar del modelo de negocio de DATUP y cómo utilizan IA para reducir costos en diferentes empresas alrededor del mundo. Uno de los aprendizajes más importantes es que el éxito para implementar soluciones con IA en cadena de suministro depende de la calidad y accesibilidad a datos, procesos, tecnología y personas. Finalmente, Felipe comenta sobre la adopción de IA en América Latina, destacando que algunos países están más avanzados que otros en la implementación de estas tecnologías.
