The latest episode of Supply Chain Now features Scott Luton and Mike Griswold discussing key insights from the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium held in early May in Orlando, Florida. The conversation highlights three major takeaways: the importance of reverse logistics and returns management in retail, as discussed by Tom Enright; the critical role of planning in supply chain transformation and resilience, emphasized by Whitney Shlesinger from McCormick; and the practical applications of AI in supply chain, as explored with Paul Noble from Verusen.

The episode also touches on the significance of change management and the need for organizations to let go of outdated practices to embrace new technologies effectively. Additionally, upcoming Gartner Planning Summits in London and Denver are mentioned as opportunities for supply chain professionals to deepen their expertise.
