BCG’s Stefan Gstettner compares the “Bionic Supply Chain” – humans and machines using advanced technologies to collaborate far more effectively – with traditional supply chain approaches, in this excerpt from an interview with LokadTV. See the full episode here: The Bionic Supply Chain.

Stefan Gstettner co-leads Boston Consulting Group’s work in digital supply chain management (DSC) and logistics. He has in-depth experience in supply chain transformations across core industries.

Stefan’s current focus is helping clients achieve a bionic supply chain by leveraging the latest technologies and establishing world-class collaboration among employees and between humans and machines.

Stefan is also an adjunct professor at the MIT Global SCALE Network where he teaches a digital supply chain master class.
