OOTB #30 | From Dashboards to Decisions: Smarter Supply Chains with Sunder Balakrishnan from LatentView

What does it take to move from dashboards to decisions – and make your supply chain data actually work for you?

In this episode, we sit down with Sunder Balakrishnan, Head of the Supply Chain Practice at LatentView Analytics, to talk about the evolving role of data in supply chain management. With 18 years of experience across factory floors, retail, and consulting, Sunder has seen firsthand how analytics, AI, and real domain knowledge can unlock serious business value — if used the right way.

We discuss:
• Why supply chain analytics is no longer just about reports, but about readiness
• What businesses are still getting wrong when it comes to data collection
• How to apply AI (without falling into the “GenAI solves everything” trap)
• What agentic AI and digital twins could mean for the future of supply chain planning
• How long-term partnerships shape smarter, faster decision-making

Plus, Sunder shares the most common data gaps across industries – and how fixing them can prevent stockouts, reduce backorders, and improve forecasting in ways dashboards never could.

If you want to make better decisions, faster – and build a supply chain that’s ready for what’s next — this episode is for you.
