🎤 What Not to Say at the Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit
 ......If You Want to Get to the Good Stuff 😊 

The Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit is where smart people say smart things.

But let’s be real, it’s also where a lot of surface-level fluff and supply chain jargon gets repeated on loop.

In Entrepreneur's Organization (or EO), we have a concept called 5%.

5% means to cut through all the BS, and focus on the transparent, clear, meaningful, valuable, deep, etc. of an idea, story, pitch, theory, that actually matters.

So, in the spirit of cutting through the 95% noise and getting to the real 5% that builds trust, insight, and connection,

Here’s a list of what NOT to say:

If you're a VENDOR, please don’t say:
 ❌ “Our platform does it all.”
 ❌ “Just layer AI on top.”
 ❌ “Integration is easy!”
 ❌ “You don’t need to worry about data quality.”
 ❌ “We’re in the Magic Quadrant... somewhere.”

If you're a SUPPLY CHAIN LEADER, please avoid these too:
 ❌ “Our data is fine—it’s all in spreadsheets.”
 ❌ “We’ll deal with AI after we finish our ERP upgrade.”
 ❌ “We just need one more dashboard.”
 ❌ “This is how we’ve always done it.”
 ❌ “IT handles that.”

💡 The truth?

You already know the real challenges.

Messy data, siloed systems, cultural blockers, and tech debt.

Let’s talk about that.

Because when we skip the script and focus on the 5% that actually matters, the entire conference gets better (for everyone)

👇 What phrase do you hope never to hear in Denver?

Rescuing Supply Chain Leaders Drowning in Data but Starving for Insights | CEO at Agillitics | Supply Chain Analytics

Information isn’t the advantage.
Action is.

And nowhere is that more obvious than in supply chain.

Most companies aren’t struggling because they lack data.

They’re struggling because their data isn’t usable, trusted, or timely enough to drive decisions.

We don’t need more reports.
We need faster insight → faster action.

That’s the real advantage.

When you turn raw supply chain data into:
	•	accurate OTIF alerts instead of static tables
	•	inventory risk signals instead of weekly spreadsheets
	•	labor performance insights instead of historical logs
	•	capacity constraints before they hit the floor
	•	exception-driven workflows instead of manual hunting

…you shift from simply knowing to consistently doing.

That’s when your planners move from reactive to proactive.

That’s when operations stop fighting fires.

That’s when AI stops being a buzzword and becomes a capability.

Because at the end of the day:

Information informs.
Insight moves.
Action transforms.

And the companies who operationalize their data are the ones who win. 💪

📊 50% of warehouse labor time is lost to non-value activities like searching, waiting, and walking.

📅 Data Point of the Day #143 – Saturday

🧠 Takeaway: The fastest gains come from removing wasted motion.

👶 Baby Chains: “Every step should serve the work.”

🐶 Bronxie the Bullwhip: “I walk enough to close my exercise ring by lunch!”

📌 Source: OPEX Warehouse Efficiency Benchmark 2025

💡 Real-world example: A regional 3PL cut wasted motion by 22 percent after redesigning travel paths and enforcing location accuracy. Throughput improved the same week.

❓ Where does wasted motion hide in your operation?

This GIF nails where most supply chains really are with AI right now 😂👇

Everyone wants “AI Agents” sliding in from the clouds. Meanwhile the enterprise is standing there with a 20-year-old WMS, siloed data, and inventory accuracy that swings like a mood chart.

We talk about AI like it’s magic. But AI is just math sitting on top of your data. If the data is wrong, the math gets weird fast.

What leaders expect AI Agents to unlock:
 • Network orchestration
 • Jedi-level demand sensing
 • Fewer expedites and firefights
 • A smoother path to EBITDA

What actually shows up:
 • Systems that don’t reconcile
 • Lead times built on tribal knowledge
 • Supplier data that only one person understands
 • Agents hallucinating because the inputs look like a DC after peak season

Here’s the truth:
AI isn’t failing. The data foundation is.

You can’t duct-tape AI onto broken processes and expect autonomy, speed, or accuracy. You get there by unifying the data, cleaning it, governing it, and making it accessible.

AI Agents aren’t the finish line.
They’re the reward for doing the hard work.

Fix the data first. Then bring on the agents. That’s when supply chain shifts from reactive to compounding.

🥈 Baby Chains Weekly Recap | The Silver Shift in Supply Chain

Silver is having its moment, moving from “precious” to “critical” as demand surges for solar, electronics, and renewable energy.

It’s a perfect reflection of what’s happening in supply chains: automation and intelligence are no longer optional luxuries… they’re essential materials for resilience.

This week’s key stats:
⚙️ The global warehouse automation market will double from $29.9B (2025) to $63.4B (2030)
📦 90%+ of warehouses are adopting WMS or predictive maintenance tools by 2025
🚛 22% of procurement leaders expect logistics costs to rise more than 10% this year
🏭 60% of manufacturers expect warehouse space needs to keep growing
👷 73% of warehouse managers can’t find enough workers
📈 65% of warehouses use predictive analytics to forecast demand
🤖 78% of warehouses are increasing investment in robotics

The takeaway:
As silver becomes critical to energy, data and automation are becoming critical to operations.
The supply chains that adapt fastest will shine the brightest.
