In this episode of Supply Chain Deepdive, hosts Michael Jung and Jess Williams unpack the new white paper “Leaner, Smarter, Faster, and More Connected: Supply Chains Evolve to Meet Rising Volatility and Cost Pressures,” produced by Reuters Events: Supply Chain in partnership with CargoWise.

Drawing on insights from over 450 logistics and supply chain leaders, the paper reveals how companies are shifting priorities—placing cost reduction above resilience and sustainability—as they navigate a volatile, high-cost global environment. Yet, despite this focus, most still struggle to contain costs amid system fragmentation and skill shortages.

Michael and Jess explore how digitalization, AI, and integrated technology platforms are transforming logistics from reactive to predictive—and what it will take for organizations to achieve truly connected, cost-efficient operations.
