Gartner Top 25: Expanding North American Supply Chains & Regenerative Agriculture

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton welcomes back Mike Griswold, Vice President Analyst at Gartner, for another edition of “Supply Chain Today and Tomorrow.” They discussed key insights from the 2024 Gartner Supply Chain Top 25, spotlighting industry leaders like Schneider Electric, Johnson & Johnson, and PepsiCo. Mike talks about how these companies are leveraging their supply chains as competitive weapons, from investing in AI-driven smart factories to embracing regenerative agriculture and reshoring production to the U.S.

The conversation also touches on the broader impacts of the new U.S. tariff measures, the critical importance of supply chain scenario planning, and even how March Madness logistics mirror the complexity of global operations. Plus, with the 2025 Gartner rankings and the upcoming Gartner Supply Chain Symposium just around the corner, Mike and Scott look ahead to what supply chain leaders can expect in the year to come.

 

This episode is hosted by Scott Luton, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.
