As I was reading this year’s contribution from Gartner, I was struck by the number of the Top 25 that have launched NextGen Supply Chain initiatives, using Big Data, artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation (RPA), machine learning and the like to digitize their supply chains.

This month, Melnyk and company pose the seven questions that supply chain managers should ask to determine if their organizations are ready for a transformation from the old to the new.
