2023 Prediction Consensus, What the Experts See Coming (interesting): https://lnkd.in/gitg9g2E. From 2022 (pretty good): https://lnkd.in/gEgC5aCk.

…. Madhav Durbha, vice president of supply-chain strategy at Coupa Software Inc., said part of the problem is outdated processes. Manual and labor-intensive operations force employees to spend hours every week doing repetitive tasks that could be automated for greater efficiency and accuracy, allowing people to focus on more rewarding work. (From Sime: So much of SCM is still done manually and on paper).
…For example, Durbha said 60% to 70% of an analytics employee’s time can be spent gathering data, while only 30% to 40% is dedicated to analyzing the figures and providing insights. (From Sime: Sounds like giant color coded spreadsheets?! Ugghh)
