Part of my role in SAP is as a Futurist, so I'm always fascinated when I come across other Futurists.

Dr. Elouise Epstein works as a Partner and Futurist for global management consulting firm Kearney and has written a couple of books on supply chain, including one released last year (2021) called Trade wars, pandemics, and chaos: How digital procurement enables business success in a disordered world so I invited her onto the podcast to talk supply chain and disruptions

We had a great conversation discussing the future of supply chains, the growth of cyber threats, and climate's impact on supply chains .
