You may have noticed something else: While topics like Big Data, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, blockchain and robotics play to standing room audiences, there’s a lot of confusion about what to do with the information. At the 2016 APICS conference, one member of the audience asked a direct question at the end of an excellent session on Big Data by Hannah Kain, the CEO of Alom: “This sounds great.

Where do I start? It’s a question we’ve been thinking about a lot. To that end, we launched the NextGen Supply Chain newsletter in August. Once a month, we’re posting six brief articles about one of the emerging next generation technologies and sending it out as a newsletter. If you’re interested in the topic, I’d urge you to sign up for our newsletters.
