Supply chain disruption isn’t slowing down, it’s becoming the baseline. So what separates leaders who keep up from those who fall behind? In this episode, Scott Luton sits down with Mike Griswold, Vice President Analyst at Gartner, to break down what it takes to lead in 2026. Mike revisits key lessons from the pandemic, including why top organizations “handle hard better,” and explains why “winning in the turns” still applies in today’s environment of constant disruption. They also unpack where many leaders are misreading AI, especially as supply chain and IT continue to converge, and what that means for CSCOs. You’ll hear Gartner’s top three priorities for supply chain leaders, plus practical examples of how AI is already improving decision-making, from vendor selection to faster insights.   This episode is hosted by Scott Luton, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.   Additional Links & Resources Check out all the great resources and information mentioned during the show: Connect with Mike Griswold Connect with Mike through email Learn more about Gartner Learn more about the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2026 conference Learn more about Hytrol Supply Chain Now Resource Hub Learn more about our hosts Want more Supply…
