Yet supply chain analytics success is oftentimes stifled, not by a shortage in data science talent, but by lack of alignment with supply chain priorities and low user adoption.

According to a Gartner survey, 75% of supply chain leaders believe that with labor shortages, low employee engagement, and retention challenges, voluntary turnover is here to stay and will likely increase over the next five or more years. The traditional response of the blind pursuit of employee retention has not produced optimal talent results. This raises the question: What if embracing employee turnover has its benefits? Recent Gartner research finds that chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) seeking to thrive in this environment must adopt three talent shifts to translate turnover into a competitive advantage. In this supply chain webinar, we examine these three shifts and share real-world examples.

• Learn to shift from preventing employee departures to designing for them

• Understand how to shift from backfilling open jobs to architecting for on-demand skills access

• Change rewarding unnecessarily complex work to fixing it
