The Predictive Enterprise: Book Launch & Conversation with Author Edmund Zagorin

Hosted by ISM–New Jersey, Rutgers Business School & Arkestro

Join us for an evening of insights, conversation, and networking as we celebrate The Predictive Enterprise: How Superhuman Supply Chains Transform Global Business.

About the Book
The Predictive Enterprise explores how Fortune 500 leaders are using artificial intelligence to fundamentally redesign procurement and supply chain operations and deliver measurable results at enterprise scale.

The book introduces a framework built around three pillars:

·         Faster-Than-Human Decision-Making

·         Humanless Loops

·         Outcome-Based Process Re-Engineering

With a foreword by Jeffrey Immelt, former CEO of General Electric, and a conclusion by Len DeCandia, the book explores how organizations can move from reactive processes toward predictive operations.
