Supply chain management is becoming increasingly important, and an essential capability is supply chain planning.

In this webinar, we look at Wall Street to see what lessons we can learn from the evolution of stock market trading and get a glimpse at the future for supply chain planning.

New business models, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and new planning technology will have a massive impact on supply chain planning.

It is vital to address the impact that these changes will have on your people, your processes and your technology.

You need to stay relevant in a changing world and prepare your organization for the opportunities that the future will bring.

Discussion Topics:

• How increasing complexity in business models will necessitate real-time planning that spans organizational boundaries
• How big data and the increasing power of analytics will improve and automate decision making
• How the Internet of Things and new manufacturing technology will create a new planning paradigm
• What types of roles and skills will be required in the planning organization of the future
