SCM Talent Group - Executive Supply Chain Recruiters

This podcast is awesome! Our friend Andrew Schneider talks to us about how he progressed from jounalist, to analyst, to S&OP visionary. "... systems don’t understand the business comings and goings that shape and move that demand. You talk about things like price elasticity, it’s not going to know three times in the three years of history you loaded, you changed price where an analyst comes in and understands, 'ah, I saw the elastic or inelastic impact of that for the trailing six months, demand went up, demand went down.'" Andrew helps us understand the "why and so what" of supply chain operations and planning. His synthesis and analysis makes for a good listen and provides a lot of helpful insights for supply chain pros who want to accelerate their careers. Have yourselves a listen and learn about A Day in the Life of an S&OP Director! #supplychain #podcast #s&op #dayinthelife https://lnkd.in/eBzgPPFG

It should come as no surprise that Humanitarian Logistics jobs are on the rise. Climate crises and international conflict.

The times they are a'changin! "Chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) must expand their focus beyond cost management or accept a relegated role within the enterprise, according to Gartner, Inc." CSCOs are being asked to do more. This doesn't come as a surprise to us. We hear it with every executive request for help we receive. It's important that your talent team is up to speed on these trends. We're happy to talk to your internal team about what we're seeing. #supplychain #talentacquisition #trends https://lnkd.in/dnP5ig4p

Siloed operations are hot topics in the business world. Sometimes separation is needed. However, the supply chain functions a lot more efficiently when operators can have access to their counterparts in other functions. Channel free logistics is one such innovation. #supplychain #logistics #channelfreelogistics #silos https://lnkd.in/e8fw3wUz

Part of why that's been the case is because of their ability to weather supply chain disruptions. #supplychain #shoes #disruptions https://lnkd.in/gcrtqwvs
