From Decision to Outcome:
Competing at the Speed of Opportunity with AI
Executive Dinner
This dinner will feature an interactive dialogue led by senior leaders from Kinaxis, EY, and invited industry practitioners. The format is designed to encourage candid peer exchange, practical examples, and audience participation throughout the evening.
About the Dialogue
Supply chain and operations leaders are under pressure to make faster, smarter decisions amid volatility, disruption, and rising expectations for cost, service, growth, and resilience.
Yet the real challenge is not simply making better plans. It is ensuring decisions are translated into action across complex, cross-functional supply chains.
This invitation-only dinner, featuring Kinaxis and EY, will bring together CSCOs, COOs, senior operations, supply chain, and IT leaders for a candid discussion on how AI, scenario modeling, and real-time planning can help organizations close the gap between decision and outcome.
Discussion Themes
- Where are volatility, supplier risk, demand shifts, and trade disruption creating the greatest exposure across cost, margin, and service?
- Why do better plans often fail to translate into consistent execution?
- How can AI, scenario modeling, and real-time planning help leaders make faster, smarter trade-offs?
- What capabilities separate organizations that can move from decision to outcome quickly from those still stuck in planning cycles?
