S02E10 - People - The Perfect Storm: Skills, Competency, and Learning Management in the Age of AI & De-carbonization
Did you or your company change the skill and competency framework based on what we all have seen on the AI front?
If not, just wait until your customers bring products out in half of the normal cycle time of the industry or at 30% less cost.
ChatGPT is just the tip of a gigantic mushroom cloud of new applications, innovation, and job profiles that emerged in just the last 12 months.
And how about the engineering skill set you have defined in your R&D and manufacturing departments?
Have they been adapted based on the need for new solutions in material science, manufacturing techniques or transportation models due to the de-carbonization of your operations and that of your supply base?
How do you figure out which skill levels might already exist in your organization, that you so far have not clocked, in since the changes were coming from left field? And which skills you have to hire in - now?
Kais Louizi, co-founder and Managing Partner from edligo has some interesting insights for us in “The Supply Chain Dialogues”.

Is now, with the rise of machine learning and RPA, finally the opportune moment for companies to shed back-end activities?

Ep. 15: Unleashing 21st Century KPI Mastery or: stop looking into your rearview mirror.
Many businesses are still operating as if they are driving a car by solely glancing at the rearview mirror. Sounds absurd, right? Well, that's how most businesses operate. They rely on just on hindsight focused financial metrics with one months to a quarter delay.
How about a 21st century KPI Leadership System, where you'll have a clear view through the windshield with a dynamic heads-up display.

Ep. 04: Creating a digital supply chain twin - operating at the speed of thought
Digital transformation, Internet of Things, blockchain, OpenAI and ChatGPT happen for most companies more in the media and consultant presentations than in their own world. There is scepticism, disbelief, and maybe even panic, followed by short bursts of activism that typically die quickly like fireflies.
So, what shall we do about it, and why? The podcast takes the topic from the latest blog, and dives deeper. Enjoy.
