About the Session
As artificial intelligence reshapes the global supply chain, executive leaders must pivot from viewing technology as a replacement for labor to embracing it as a collaborative partner. In this executive session, Cisco Chief Supply Chain Officer Chuck Graham explores the transition toward an Internet of Cognition, where routine tasks are automated to elevate the role of human judgment, empathy, relationships, and strategic decision-making, and where intelligent agents collaborate and learn much in the same way as humans. Attendees will gain actionable insights on rethinking workflows to prioritize the Human Premium, overcoming AI infrastructure debt, and fostering a culture of continuous learning, as leaders work to build supply chain ecosystems that are both AI-native and fundamentally human.
