The Autonomous Mindset – Driving the Next Evolution of Supply Chains
As AI rapidly reshapes supply chain management, simply applying AI to existing supply chain operations isn’t enough. CSCOs must embrace an autonomous mindset, where humans and agents collaborate to drive growth and resilience.
Join Alan O’Keeffe, VP Analyst at Gartner as he shares how supply chain leaders can transform their operations, decision-making and teams.
Hear more on:
- How to shift from an automation mindset to an autonomous mindset
- Building high performing teams by developing specialists into “versatilists” who can collaborate effectively with AI
- How the CSCO role is evolving as supply chains become more autonomous

Supply Chain in the C-suite — Shaping Enterprise Outcomes as a CSCO
The CSCO role continues to evolve, with supply chain leaders integral to shaping enterprise strategy and driving business outcomes. As expectations rise across growth, customer experience and cost optimisation, close collaboration with the C-suite is essential to delivering lasting value.
Join this boardroom to discuss:
- How the CSCO role is evolving as a strategic partner at the executive table

- Approaches for cementing credibility and maximising impact across the C-suite
Delivering Business Impact with Agile, Intelligent Supply Chains
As supply chain leaders strive to deliver better business outcomes, agility and intelligence are becoming essential tools for success. Today’s supply chains must be able to adapt quickly, anticipate challenges and be designed to empower teams to make confident data-driven decisions that drive growth and resilience.
Join this executive boardroom to discuss:
