The Supply Chain Buzz for June 19th: Digital Transformers Edition

The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

This week’s edition of The Buzz was a Digital Transformers edition, and it featured hosts Scott Luton and Kevin L. Jackson. They opened the conversation by marking Juneteenth, a Federal holiday recognizing the day that word reached Galveston, Texas that the last slaves were freed, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

In this livestream, created in collaboration with a live Supply Chain Now audience, Scott and Kevin discussed:

• The two major challenges that usually arise in the process of digital transformation: harnessing and leveraging data and building agility into your organization and technology strategy

• Leveraging cybersecurity as a service to supplement in house efforts against the constant threat of cyber risk

• Observations from Scott and Amanda’s recent trip to Cape Town in South Africa
