The Supply Chain Awakens: A Call for Awareness in the Age of AI

In his insightful new whitepaper, supply chain visionary Art Mesher challenges today’s AI hype cycle and offers a more enduring path forward.

Are we repeating the same mistakes of the dot-com era? Mesher argues that despite flashy buzzwords and vendor promises, 83% of supply chain technology implementations fail to deliver expected results.

Rather than chasing the latest platform or AI solution, Mesher presents his framework for supply chain awareness:

  • Know Thyself: Understand your true strengths and where value leaks
  • Know Thy Network: Build transparency beyond your first-tier partners
  • Know Thy Why: Gain clarity on decision-making impacts

“Self-awareness, not self-driving technology, is the foundation of transformation,” emphasizes Mesher, who introduced the industry-defining “Three V’s” framework.
