About the Episode

Plan across the network, not just inside it

Supply chain teams have more data than ever and still struggle to make decisions in real time. Data silos and rigid networks make it harder to respond when the market moves.

Christine Barnhart talks with Conrad Mandala, EVP of Partnerships and Alliances at Kinaxis, about connected planning, diversifying routes to market, building more adaptive supply networks, and why the best partners are collaborators, not vendors. They also discuss the role of AI in where the industry goes next.
