“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.

· 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

Introducing The Collective

Most supply chain discussions get bogged down in hype and theoretical buzzwords. In this episode, they get stripped back to reality. In this debut episode of The Collective on Supply Chain Now, a powerhouse panel of battle-proven commerce veterans comes together to dive deep into the forces currently reshaping the global trade landscape.

Kerry kicks off the conversation with a frank look at AI in smart sourcing, warning against the trap of treating technology as a total labor replacement rather than a strategic amplifier. She emphasizes the critical need for “checking the checker,” maintaining strict data hygiene, and exercising executive oversight to avoid costly operational mistakes.
