In the race to build global empires of data and digital systems, today’s businesses must not risk forgetting what all of those zeroes and ones mean. Sometimes walking a mile in someone’s shoes and listening to their firsthand experience is the only way to pull together all of the pieces of a modern supply chain puzzle.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Frank Kenney. Frank is the Director of Market Strategy at Cleo, where he is focused on helping companies get ahead and stay ahead despite persistent supply chain complexity.

Highlights

In this interview, Frank talks about the importance of supply chain visibility for the sake of optionality and accountability:

  • Why the ultimate goal of supply chain visibility is not just to ‘see’ but also to make effective decisions
  • The importance of leveraging systems and data without losing connection with the real-life meaning and impact they represent
  • The risk that abstraction poses to procurement and supply chain professionals - and consumers as well
