WEBINAR: The Expanding Role of Supply Chain Optimization Teams in Driving Business Impact

Supply chain optimization teams are moving beyond one-off business requests and occasional network design studies. As supply chains become more dynamic, leading teams are supporting broader decision-making, becoming proactive decision partners, and helping businesses unlock greater value, faster.

In this webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Jake Barr with Supply Chain Now will welcome Mohit Dobhal with Decision Spot and Craig Frankland with Fresenius Medical Care, a global healthcare leader, to discuss how they lead strategy using Foresta® supply chain design and optimization.

We will explore how optimization, AI, and modern decision-support technology are reducing time to value and helping teams deliver measurable impact across network, inventory, transportation, and capacity decisions.

Key Takeaways:

1. How optimization teams are moving from reactive analysis to proactive decision support

2. How AI and optimization are reducing time to value from months to weeks — or even days

3. Where supply chain optimization teams are creating measurable business impact and leading strategy

4. Real-world ROI examples from recent supply chain optimization initiatives

5. What enables optimization teams to scale their impact

Real stories: People first – Leadership lessons in driving digital supply chain transformation

Digital transformation is what most companies do, but only a few report that they have successfully achieved their aspiration. Why? Because digital transformation starts with people and organization, not with technology. Adapting the organization to be future-ready is the foundation of lasting competitive advantage. Drawing from her experience leading large-scale change management initiatives, special guest Eliza Simeonova, Quality Supply Chain Operations Officer with Haleon, joins Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Jake Barr, along with OMP Chief Commercial & Markets Officer, Philip Vervloesem, to discuss how smart talent, capability, and organizational choices create real value and how people strategy is adapted to match business goals. This session shares proven approaches for upskilling talent and building teams that confidently leverage AI and digital tools, turning challenging transformations into measurable business results throughout the supply chain. What You’ll Walk Away With: Inspiration to see why the supply chain of the future depends on bold, adaptive leaders—not just faster systems. A new perspective on why waiting for the “perfect” structure or rollout could be holding you back. Insight into how human-centered approaches—investing in people, planning, and end-to-end optimization—deliver the sharpest competitive edge.
