The Logistics Tribe Folgen

Supply Chain Visibility is an evergreen topic in the industry. But it feels like after so many years, there are still a lot more questions than answers about what visibility you actually need to run a global supply chain and how best to achieve it. The last couple of years have made that painfully obvious. Today's guest has been trying to tackle the issue from various angles for many years. Tobias Larsson is the founder of Resilience360 and leads supply chain solutions at Altana AI. Together with Jonah McIntire, serial logistics tech entrpreneur and another "veteran" of the field, Tobias discusses the following topics: - Tobias' background as the founder of Resilience360 and his role at Altana AI - How Altana is trying to build the "Google Maps" of Supply Chains - The current state of visibility across the extended supply and value chain - How 2020 and 2021 put supply chains on the radar of senior management - A look back at the history of how companies have tried to gain supply chain visibility over the years - How supply chain technology has evolved over time - From "dots on a map" to predictive ETAs and exception management - Views that Tobias holds that are "contrarian" or non-mainstream - Supply chain risk and ways to assess it - The importance of value chain visibility - Some recommended "no-regrets" moves supply chain leader should make to get better supply chain visibility - Jona's unconventional idea to look at betting markets as predictors of supply chain risk - What would be game changers for the field of supply chain visibility - And much more Helpful links: To connect with Tobias on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobias-larsson-6a953b/ To connect with Jonah on LinkedIn: https://nl.linkedin.com/in/jonahmcintire Altana AI: https://altana.ai/ Our great supporters GreyOrange: https://www.greyorange.com/ To connect with Boris (founder of The Logistics Tribe) on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/borisfelgendreher/
