Is Supply Chain Planning SaaS Dead? A Candid Conversation on What’s Next
Tuesday, May 06, 2025 / 03:00 PM – 03:30 PM EDT / Southern Hemisphere III
About the Session
30 years ago, Art Mesher helped define the modern supply chain industry by launching Gartner’s original Supply Chain practice. Now, he’s back—and he’s not holding back. In this unfiltered, future-facing session, Art will take the stage to challenge the outdated planning paradigms that have dominated for decades. He’ll explore why the traditional supply chain SaaS model is nearing extinction—and what must replace it.
Together with MC Amber Salley, this conversation will unpack how the industry’s obsession with deterministic answers and rigid rankings has led us to a breaking point. Art will revisit his foundational 3Vs—Visibility, Variability, and Velocity—and explain how they remain more relevant than ever in today’s volatile, high-stakes landscape.
Expect a provocative discussion on:
- Why legacy planning software can’t keep up
- How composability and decision-centric design unlock resilience
- The role of probabilistic modeling in mastering the unpredictable
Whether you’re a supply chain veteran or innovator, this session will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew—and ready to help shape what’s next.
