As technology advances at an ever faster pace, specialized skills and training initiatives are required to keep up. Inevitably, technology moves faster than the rate at which a talent pool can be upskilled to manage and deploy it. Supply chain has shown this to be the case in the Pandemic era. Automation has helped increase efficiency and close the talent gap, but it has also narrowed the field for those able to execute the technology. How leaders can better implement tech at a pace that doesn’t burn out key employees is key to interrupting the skill loss cycle in supply chain. Chris Gaffney helps us explore this element and provides some creative ways to solve for it.
