Key takeaways from the JoC report
- AI as a competitve edge
Artificial intelligence (AI) will drive the next leap in supply chain operations, and the timing of adoption will play a significant role in setting freight forwarders ahead of their competition.
- Focus on How, not If or When
The critical question to answer for your business is not if or when, but how you will begin — or continue — to integrate AI.
- Balance AI with human input
Long-term strategy should be grounded in an understanding of the balance of human input and AI activity — in day-today tasks, ongoing machine learning/improving and your management philosophy.
- Prioritise training to increase adoption
Employee training and pilot programming are vital early steps to address concerns, build consensus and determine the best approach to improve your current operating processes.
