In an era of dazzling technology, are we forgetting what really makes supply chain organizations run?

People are now, and always have been, the most important factor in running a business. The promise of artificial intelligence notwithstanding, every organization needs to prioritize the nurturing of human skills training and professional development. And the key to doing that successfully lies in mentorships. They strengthen teams, build resilient workforces and drive succession planning. Most of all, they just make for better places to work. On this episode, we learn what it takes to build strong mentorships, especially for managing supply chains. Our guests are Wanda Riddick Johnson, supply chain technology fellow with Deloitte, and Kris Casariego, senior manager of partner marketing with Tecsys. They offer advice on fostering a strong mentorship culture, and detail the benefits for all involved. And they answer the question: Do young women coming up in the organization require female mentors? Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
