As featured speakers at a recent CSCMP session, Chuck Reynolds and Matt Stanfield examined the evolving mandate of today’s Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) and the need for supply chains to adapt rapidly amid disruption and the rise of AI.

The conversation highlighted that CEOs now expect supply chains to deliver profitable growth, resilience and sustainability at the same time. Speakers examined how AI, digital twins and unified data platforms are transforming planning, sourcing, manufacturing and delivery by enabling faster, more accurate and more integrated decision-making. Case examples showed tangible impact, including reduced inventory, improved forecast accuracy and enhanced customer experience.

The session also addressed organizational challenges such as resistance to AI adoption, the need for continuous model refresh and aligning digital investments with broader business strategy. The shift from cost-focused management to orchestrating adaptive, learning supply chain systems was a central theme, emphasizing the CSCO’s growing role in shaping enterprise-wide innovation and growth.
