Supply chain uncertainty, Agent governance, and fragmented ERP data, these are the three problems sitting on the desk of almost every operation and technology leader we speak to right now. This edition breaks down what is actually happening on the ground and how organizations are starting to move. Also, our Chicago AI Leadership Xchange is coming up for those who want the real conversation live.
Top 3 Market Insights:
- Agent Sprawl: Low code tools have made building AI agents so easy that now every team has multiple agents across their workflow. These agents run on different models with no unified visibility into cost, access, or ownership. This pattern is similar to the cloud sprawl from the early 2010s (Read more about it here). We advise our clients to build a unified view of all their active agents, who own them, what they can access, and what they are costing.
- Scenario modelling in the age of uncertainty: Global supply chains are under more pressure than they have been in years amid global trade volatility, tariffs and trade disputes hitting at once. Orgs have now started using AI-powered scenario model that simulates sourcing shifts, cost impacts, and supplier alternatives across thousands of variables to recover from the operational impact faced. Reach out to know how we did this for one of our clients.
- ERP intelligence at the edge: Large EMS operators usually run multiple ERP systems across different business units, leading to fragmented data without a single source of truth. Orgs are now converting the available data into a unified intelligence layer that predicts, automates and advises leadership teams. The decades of available data makes it easier to train such systems.
