In this Agentic Age, Supply chain leaders are racing to adopt AI—but isolated solutions and disconnected systems often limit real impact. The true promise of AI emerges only when we reimagine the supply chain as a fully connected enterprise, breaking down decades-old silos across planning, logistics, materials, finance, and sustainability. In this session, Manik Sharma, Head of Supply Chain GTM AI at Celonis—magic quadrant leader, recognized globally and ranked #3 on the Fortune 50 Most Promising Companies list—will unpack how a modern AI-enabled tech stack can unify fragmented data, systems, and processes through a connected semantic layer that digitizes the physical value chain.

This intelligence can then be democratized across the organization to power self-serve analytics, build composable AI solutions, and orchestrate workflows, collaboration, agents, and actions at scale. We’ll explore how companies are using this approach to unlock self-serve analytics, accelerate development of composable AI applications, and orchestrate autonomous workflows and agents at scale. This is not a future vision but a proven path for organizations that…
