The Future-ReadySupply Chain 4 paths to prepare for what’s next in2025 and beyond Introduction Chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) must tackle major hurdles to secure future success: AI leaps, stricterESG rules, geopolitical shifts, data control and talent shortages. To be ready for these challenges, CSCOsconsider five supply chain characteristics as key to delivering business value through 2030: agility, resilience,strategic alignment, regionalization and ecosystem collaboration. To develop these characteristics, CSCOsmust make intentional investments in capability sets related to technology, sustainability, talent and thebusiness model. Doing so makes a huge impact on customer satisfaction; revenue and growth; on time, infull (OTIF) performance; return on capital investment; and talent retention. Gartner clients can access theresearch in its entirety, casestudies from industry leadersand supporting tools fromgartner.com. But urgent, short-term issues often distract CSCOs from preparing the supply chain to effectively meetfuture challenges and opportunities.
