Decades of technology investment haven’t necessarily made supply chains better. In this Talking Transports podcast, Supply Chain Insights founder and CEO Lora Cecere joins Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst Lee Klaskow to discuss why roughly 80% of industry sectors are performing worse than before the pandemic and why only 32 companies in her latest “Supply Chains to Admire” report outperformed peers over the past decade. Cecere explains how market-driven companies can outperform larger global competitors and why functional cost-cutting can hurt margins and inventory productivity. She also explores AI, transportation data, intermodal growth, scenario planning and why supply-chain talent may be one of the industry’s most underestimated challenges.
