The Winner’s Formula
Technical excellence alone can't explain why some supply chain leaders extract extraordinary value from AI while others plateau. We’ve uncovered five operating principles that make the difference.
In 2024, we developed a data-driven perspective on how to use AI in the most bold, exploratory, and effective way possible to deliver tangible results. Focusing on the core supply chain themes of people, processes, and tech, we linked desirable outcomes with specific sources of AI advantage. The result? A five-point “formula” that is driving leaders in supply chain digitization to the top – now.
That “top” is apparent across various performance outcomes – and to a huge extent. Comparing top vs bottom quartile performers, AI winners see:
- 2.2x revenue growth
- +4.4ppt margin growth
- 3.6x more accurate EPS estimates
- 80% faster inventory turns (on average)
- +213 more AI patents per company
- and they are also 25% more likely to set Scope 3 SBTi targets
Winners are pulling away from the pack. Here’s how they’re doing it.
The stakes in supply chain AI aren’t static – they’re compounding. This five-point formula isn’t just a roadmap to catch up; it’s the blueprint for building step-function competitive advantage.
