This document discusses supply chain insights and the evolution of supply chain excellence. It summarizes that supply chains are complex systems that are becoming increasingly more complex. It also reviews what some of the tipping points were that changed supply chain excellence from focusing on vertical silos to more horizontal processes that deliver value-based outcomes. Finally, it discusses how supply chains are evolving to leverage big data from various sources and the need for supply chains to become more market-driven and orchestrate demand and supply based on changing market conditions.

A critical look at three years of supply chain disruption. Using quantitative and qualitative research, Lora Cecere, Founder of Supply Chain Insights, looks critically at the factors within companies that drove resilience and the factors less successful. Companies that won were aligned, used market signals, decreased process latency, used scenario planning, and implemented descriptive analytics. Those that fared worse, had tight integration of supply chain planning to ERP, were not aligned, and were focused on a digital transformation strategy.

Today's supply chain processes are inside-out. Outside-in processes, using channel and market data, improve the time to respond. This presentation reflects two years of testing using machine learning to understand the impact on the bullwhip effect and Forecast Value Added.
Now in its ninth year, the Supply Chains to Admire analysis is a study of the progress of each industry sector on the balanced scorecard of growth, operating margin, inventory turns, and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). Twenty-two companies outperform their peer group, defining and exemplifying supply chain excellence.
Supply Chains to Admire Analysis 2022_2022 presentation.pptxLora Cecere
Supply Chains to Admire is a data-driven analysis based on public reporting of manufacturing and retail companies. The research evaluates which public companies drove improvement while outperforming their peer groups on performance metrics and value for the ten-year period of 2012-2021. The 25 winners are a testimonial to supply chain resilience.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
