Using Generative AI to Reimagine S&OP and Improve Employee Experience

The pace of technology changes is outpacing many organizations’ ability to understand and prepare for its impact on supply chain employee experience and performance.

In this workshop learn how organizations can learn to thrive in a Generative AI future to reimagine S&OP — eliminating silos and removing decision latency. By replacing sequential processes with digital insights organizations can:
• Facilitate budgeting & departmental alignment
• Transform meetings into data-driven sessions
• Enable planners, sales, operations or even finance to speak the same language and make smarter, faster decisions
See how the new S&OP easily improves productivity and reduces errors, with a conversational interface that anyone can use to speak supply chain in their everyday language.
