WEBINAR: Reengineering supply chain planning: How to get more bang for your buck in 2026

“What was your return on investment in supply chain planning technology this year?”

As 2025 comes to a close, many supply chain leaders are taking stock of their efforts to transform supply chain planning for their businesses. Unfortunately for some, this year’s strategic projects are falling short of expectations. Substantial budget and resources were allocated to deploy new advanced planning systems and AI solutions to improve decision-making. While progress was made, many of these investments yielded less than was expected.

We can do better.

Industry leaders are achieving breakthrough productivity gains by focusing on the right use cases, applying AI smartly, assessing the promised capabilities accurately and driving adoption of new planning solutions. By taking an agentic approach to supplement out-of-the-box APS functionality, these leaders are achieving the measurable business impact hoped for when they embarked on their digital transformations.

Beyond Resilience: Capitalizing on Supply Chain Uncertainty

The only thing certain in life is that nothing is certain.” So said Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder nearly 2,000 years ago. For supply chain professionals this quote definitely rings true today. Unpredictable shifts in demand and disruptions to supply are becoming more frequent and more severe. Over the last few years, much of our focus has been on building resilient supply chains to prepare for the inevitable, unforeseen challenges ahead. However, some industry leaders are striving to go beyond resiliency to actually take advantage of future disruptions. They see the upside of supply chain uncertainty as an opportunity to capture share from slower competitors. In this Supply Chain Now webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome special guests John DeSarbo and Bharathi Shankar from ZS to explore how industry leaders are capitalizing on uncertainty by building agility into their operations, rethinking traditional approaches to supply chain management, and utilizing AI and advanced analytics to uncover opportunities to capitalize on changing market dynamics.
