“Egos erode effectiveness. The people will say what needs to happen if leaders have the courage – as well as the humility to ask them.”

– Billy Taylor, CEO and President of LinkedXL

The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

In this episode of The Buzz, Supply Chain Now Co-hosts Greg White and Scott Luton are joined by Billy Taylor, CEO and President of LinkedXL (Excellence), a business operating systems architecting firm. From his position, he is clearly able to see the importance of people – even in digitally transformed companies and industries – and also the disruption that companies will experience if the transition back to in-person work is not managed smoothly.

This week’s Buzz guests and hosts engage in real time with a live audience to talk about:

· The major takeaways from the G7 summit in Geneva, Switzerland and the opportunities that may result for companies and individuals living in the countries represented

· The findings of the Biden Administration’s 100 Day Review of Supply Chains, especially for the semiconductor industry

· How the manufacturing workforce is changing, both in terms of diversity and in terms of the overall culture represented
