Welcome to the 4th and final episode of Old Dogs, and in this episode we turn to prophecy and seek to examine the future!
Why are we asking the dumbest questions of AI?
We think about the impact of this on broader society, and recommend a read of “The End of Work” by Jeremy Rifkin
Why do LSP customers tender too frequently and without thought and preparation?
How can LSPs demonstrate more value through giving more visibility?
Why are the aging systems controlling our logistics operations so fragmented and disconnected?
Why are our TMSs largely built with no regard that one day the customer will want to go to tender?
We ask why are our LSPs sometimes failing to identify clients that may require a more sustainable supply chain and are willing to pay for it?
We finally ask why a more sophisticated and value driving eSourcing system has not been developed than the one we developed, shaped and utilised 21 years ago….
The Logistics industry needs to be an exemplar of the future amazing possibilities of sustainable and intelligent supply chains and not a museum to innovations of the past. The challenges we face are the driving force behind the inventions to come. Radical thinking is certainly needed – and there is plenty of fun in that!
So sit back with a mince pie and mulled wine…and be stimulated into some future thinking!
