Join us for an exclusive webcast where we'll reveal key findings from The Hackett Group's 2025 Supply Chain Key Issues Study. Spoiler alert: The research shows that the supply chain plays a critical role in containing costs while also delivering on customer expectations, and companies are increasingly making plans to deploy and scale artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Organizations are pursuing:
- Resilience and agility: Leaders are prioritizing supply chain agility and resilience to tackle uncertainty; however, executives expressed the lowest level of confidence in delivering on this capability. To support these goals, 50% have or plan to deploy predictive analytics in supply chain planning, including 29% through generative AI (Gen AI).
- Operational cost-efficiency: Cost of goods sold (COGS) as a percentage of revenue was named the most important supply chain metric among companies – 63% are pursuing inventory optimization, 54% are increasing automation and 46% are planning for network optimization.
- Digital transformation and talent acquisition: Leaders are pursuing digital transformation, including AI capabilities, to drive supply chain success in the year ahead to support transformation – 67% reported acquiring or developing new skills and talent as a top initiative.
