Supply Chain and its Role in Branded Innovation Project Managers, Supply Chain Planners, and Technical Leaders are often faced with trade-offs for cost, speed, or innovation without a clear strategy of how to choose. The years of pushing products to the mass market every few years are over as consumers continue to be more demanding of their products and the brands behind these products. Innovation is rarely a straight line and the business leaders of the future need to know how to pivot when a roadblock appears. This session will introduce some basic strategies which are applicable to anyone who works in or with the supply chain at their company. You will learn how to develop a roadmap for supply chain capability, take strategic 'time-outs' from your daily work to assess risks, with your team and to recover quickly, and to align on key points of achievement. Additionally, you will learn some of Jonathan's strategies on how to keep our stakeholders informed, including sharing bad news, and how to continuously motivate teams during 2+ year programs. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies.

Building and Scaling a Data Science Culture As your data and AI teams scale from one to thousands of employees, you will encounter roadblocks along the way. From handling messy data to productionization and customer adoption, these obstacles can delay or even derail otherwise strong teams. Drawing on experiences gleaned from hundreds of clients, Michael Li presents a framework that successful companies have embraced to build and scale their data teams. The talk goes over how organizations progress along three maturity curves: Analytical, Operational, and Organizational.
