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. Once established, this semantic layer becomes a dynamic foundation for intelligent, data-driven operations by infusing it with enterprise context—from rules, constraints, and parameters to policies and proven models—unlocking true end-to-end enterprise intelligence. 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…

The symbiotic relationship between people and technology is advancing the vision for a unified supply chain and pushing the limits of innovation and progress to new heights. Dirk Beveridge knows this better than anyone.
