Of all the things minority-owned business might want, getting on the radar screen of a large enterprise is pretty near the top of the list. And yet, given the realities of modern business, without a little support from specialized organizations, that opportunity might never come to pass.

In this episode of the #SupplyChainCity series, which features big business leaders based in Supply Chain Now’s home city of Atlanta, we hear two leaders speaking about the efforts being made to help minority-owned businesses connect with large companies who appreciate the value they bring. Stacey Key is the President and CEO of the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council (GMSDC), and George Richter is the Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Management at Cox Communications. Cox Communications was one of the founding members of the GMSDC in 1976 and remains a strong supporter of the diversity movement to this day.

To better understand the progress that has been made over the last 45 years and the work that remains to be done, Co-hosts Scott Luton and Ben Harris, Director of Supply Chain Ecosystem Expansion for the Metro Atlanta Chamber, interview Stacey and George about:

• What it means to be a small and/or diversity owned business, and why certifications play an important part in the diversity movement

• Why accountability is just as important as intent in supplier diversity

• The steps that large corporations need to take today to have the desired economic impact in communities of color

The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

In this episode of The Buzz, presented in cooperation with OpenText, Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Greg White are joined by Mark Morley, OpenText’s Senior Director of Product Marketing. His expertise is in helping companies manage their supply chains by mastering the information that flows between different organizations and disparate enterprise systems – ideally increasing transparency and keeping ‘data hoarding’ to a minimum.

Mark, Scott, and Greg find inspiration from recent news stories to discuss these timely supply chain topics:

• The transition from mined gemstones to lab-grown gemstones in order to improve the sustainability of the supply chain

• Exploring the potential of blockchain to provide granular traceability of components and materials even after they have been put into products and sold

• How supply chain control towers are being used today to help companies address supply shortages and unpredictability

The Green Berets are known for parachuting in behind enemy lines and then building relationships with people on the ground to mobilize resistance from the ground up. That work has been going on in Afghanistan for the last 20 years, leading to strong bonds between U.S. Special Forces and the Afghan farmers, commandos, and special forces that fought with them in the global battle against terrorism.

When, in light of the tragic events playing out in Afghanistan, Scott Mann, Green Beret and Retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army, realized that one of those Afghan commandos was going to be left behind despite holding a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), he knew he needed to act. Scott had worked with and trained this young soldier for years, and so he used his own network – predominantly based in the U.S. – to connect with members of the media, congress, and other Veterans in an unofficial mission that would later be dubbed, ‘Taskforce Pineapple.’ That one rescue became the basis for getting over 700 people through the bottlenecks at the airport in Kabul.

In this unique and exceptional episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Mann tells the true story one harrowing rescue mission to co-hosts Scott Luton and Mike Griswold, Vice President of Research at Gartner, and shares his own brand of wisdom:

• Why we can never dismiss anyone we meet as unimportant or irrelevant in an effort that requires relationships and social capital to succeed

• The power of having real-time situational awareness plus communications and relationships when a mission is both critical and clearly defined

• The lessons that supply chain professionals in any industry can learn from proven military techniques and maxims
