Supply chain leadership: Upskilling and reskilling in the digital age

The future of supply chain leadership is in the making. As AI assumes more control over routine tasks, leaders need to focus on upskilling and reskilling their teams. According to a report by McKinsey, the global supply chain industry is expected to add over 2 million jobs by 2025, but only half of these new roles will require specialized skills in areas like data analytics and robotics. As AI assumes more control over routine tasks, supply chain leaders need to prioritize reskilling programs that focus on building a workforce with diverse skill sets. This includes investing in education and training programs, encouraging lifelong learning, and fostering a culture of innovation and experimentation. The rise of Industry 4.0 is transforming manufacturing and supply chains worldwide. By 2025, the global data analytics market is expected to reach $192 billion, while India's digital twin technology market is expected to reach $13.4 billion by 2025.
