Please join us on Tuesday 25 February for our Breakfast event, where we will welcome Ben Tulloch, Managing Director within Accenture’s Intelligent Operations practice to share his background and offer a perspective on the implications of Industry X.0 on Supply Chains 2020 and beyond – “the epic disruption”.

The last decades have seen progressive adoption of technology and digitally enabled business models as Industry evolved from 3.0 to 4.0, and with this we have seen incremental improvements in supply chain cycle time, total cost and client experiences, and evolution in the skills and workforce required to support this. Industry X.0 threatens to turn current business and operating models on their heads, and the implications for supply chain are profound. This discussion provides some early examples of Industry X.0 and the emerging implications for the supply chain profession (practitioners, executives, educators, researchers, technologists) and looks to invoke a discussion on how New Zealand can look to lead the world towards supply chain X.0.
