"The Future of Digitally-Enabled Supply Chain Innovation”
JOIN US for the IOP Fall Forum to explore disruption and opportunity in global supply chain and how it affects management of these complex forces cross-industry. Digital technologies such as AI blockchain and the Internet of Things are revolutionizing the way we manage and optimize - not only supply chains - but enterprise processes across industries, to enhance efficiency, transparency and resilience.
