The Supply Chain Leaders in Action (SCLA) Think Tank, the foremost think tank in global supply chain, brings together C-level executives from the Fortune 500 companies driving the world's top 50 supply chains.

Presenter: Blythe Chorn, Managing Director, KPMG's Supply Chain Advisory Group
Our bi-monthly Think Tank calls, including this session led by Blythe Chorn, provide members with insights into sustainability, resilience, and innovation within the supply chain.
Key Highlights:
🔍 Supply Chain Visibility & Risk
With supply chain risks at an all-time high, visibility into every tier of suppliers has become essential. However, task-focused operating models often lead to reactionary cycles fueled by regulatory and consumer demands. Achieving end-to-end visibility is complex, as technology, people, and processes alone are insufficient. Companies must evolve their operating models to integrate these elements, driving efficiency and optimization across the board.
🚀 Resiliency and Agility
Leading companies are building "command centers" that centralize multi-tier data and provide predictive insights to manage risk and boost resiliency. These command centers monitor critical supply constraints, predict delays, and enable proactive decisions, helping organizations stay agile amidst disruptions from regulatory and environmental shifts.
🤝 Collaboration and Compliance
Next-generation supply chains emphasize strong supplier partnerships. A shared-benefits model encourages suppliers to participate, balancing the need for visibility with incentives like customer demand insights and compliance support. This collaborative approach drives greater transparency, accountability, and adaptability across supply networks.
📈 Future-Ready Supply Chains
An enterprise-wide approach to visibility helps companies anticipate disruptions, optimize costs, and foster stronger supplier relationships. By promoting innovation in materials and aligning with evolving consumer expectations, organizations prepare themselves for an agile response to future regulations and trends.
The SCLA Think Tank, led by CEO Amy Thorn, catalyzes this progress by fostering a space where the best minds from industry and academia shape the future of supply chain management. Membership in SCLA is by nomination based on merit ensuring a community that prioritizes impact and innovation.
