Leverage AI and robotics to transform industries, launch new business models, and dominate markets

The Predictive Enterprise: How Superhuman Supply Chains Transform Global Business digs deep into the exciting business opportunities created by a new kind of supply chain--one powered by AI and autonomous technologies--to deliver an exponential increase in productivity and throughput. From superintelligent humanoid robots, to sensorized loading docks, to autonomous and AI-augmented supplier negotiations, to predictive materials management, this book covers all aspects of superhuman supply chains within the context of larger global enterprise digital transformations.

Drawing from interviews with Global 2000 executives and real-world case studies at companies like Chevron, Standard Industries, Koch Industries, as well as Amazon, Walmart, and Tesla, this book delivers key insights on:

• Autonomous distribution centers, humanoids, self-driving everything, including drone swarms, and more
• Leapfrogging and retrofitting legacy infrastructure, systems, facilities, and workforces for exponential gains
• Third party AI risks for large enterprises and AI governance for supply chain teams, including challenges associated with security, privacy, and data governance
• The role of simulations in disaster response, including extreme weather events, geopolitical conflicts, trade wars and other supply disruptions and how AI is boosting resiliency and agility
• Dealing with social anxiety around job loss and replacement and overcoming naysayers, by creating a Ready-Aim-Fire game plan to test-and-learn and iterate quickly and continuously to nail and scale big wins from superhuman supply chains

The Predictive Enterprise is a timely, essential read for a global audience of business executives seeking to capitalize on the autonomous technologies that are quickly reshaping the world of global business as supply chains grapple with an adversarial US-China geopolitical landscape and increasingly are being asked to absorb the impact of disruption events without adding headcount.
