AI is getting better at predicting potential outcomes, but the technology still isn’t as reliable as humans at coming up with predictions that put everything into context for what it all means. This week’s lead item, part of the Great Question podcast series, offers a fast-paced tour of predictions and prognostications of what the supply chain will look like in 2026 and beyond, featuring insights from some of the industry’s prominent thinkers and thought leaders.
We’ll also look into why the skilled labor shortage remains the biggest obstacle for manufacturers, and what companies can do about it.
And please take a minute to answer our survey question on the supply chain topics you care about the most, as we begin to map out our schedule of 2026 webinars.
All this and more in this week’s Supply Chain Insights.
