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.
