Supply Chain Decision Velocity Starts with Data Agility

Six industry leaders reveal how to build data agility—and why it’s the key to competitive advantage. Most teams spend 70–90% of their time preparing data—not analyzing it. By the time data is ready for analysis, the market has moved. Opportunities vanish. Competitors act. One company nearly built a $400M facility 550 miles from the optimal location. The cost of that mistake would have been $2 billion over the plant’s lifetime. They caught it with always-on data analytics. Would you? “In uncertainty-driven environments, expanded analytical capacity translates directly to resilience. Organizations that can model more futures make more informed commitments.” Download the white paper to discover: Why data—not talent or technology—is the real bottleneck How leading organizations are building reusable data infrastructure that cuts prep time by 80% What data agility unlocks: faster refreshes that deliver savings now, coverage across every business and region, and the capacity to finally tackle cost-to-serve, risk analysis, and inventory optimization The shift from ad-hoc projects to always-on decision-making capability Featuring insights from veterans of Cargill, Nestlé, McKinsey, and more.

Scope 3: Understanding Supply Chain Emissions Modern supply chain management outsources different parts of the operation to leverage the expertise of different suppliers and stakeholders. Logistics operations are usually outsourced to third-party providers, and exercising control over their operations and monitoring their sustainability practices and emissions can be challenging. Here’s the harsh reality: no matter how well an organization manages to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the unaddressed Scope 3 emissions can bring the entire process to a screeching halt.
