Digitalization of logistics and supply chain operations involves a host of technologies that offer the promise of a connected network that has access to real-time, end-to-end visibility. Yet, when characterizing their company’s digital transformation efforts, respondents to Logistics Management’s recently conducted “Study of Logistics and Transportation Trends” suggest there’s been a general shift toward firms opting to follow instead of taking a leadership role.

Given the number of available and emerging digital solutions capable of transforming and improving our operations, why are many firms still spinning their wheels instead of driving forward? Our Virtual Summit keynote speakers set out to answer this question by sharing the findings of this year’s survey and then offer logistics and supply chain professions tips for kicking their digital transformation into overdrive.

Attendees will better understand:

• The three factors driving digital transformation: performance, strategy, visibility
• What elements are holding most firms back from executing a digital strategy
• How to play a role in charting and kick-starting your digital direction
