INFORMS Open Forum

Dear colleague,

The webinar, Teaching Supply Chain Management by Visual Storytelling, held this August, drew 525 colleagues from 300+ universities and companies across 50 countries, including the U.S., India, U.K., Canada, Germany, France, Pakistan, Hong Kong and more.

The webinar highlighted:

• AI-compatible vs. AI-replaceable education - rethinking what skills remain distinctly human in the age of AI: https://youtu.be/n8D-xnMv08k
• The supply chain butterfly effect - how small operational disruptions may cascade into major financial consequences: https://youtu.be/WrDOd088W_M
• Defining and prioritizing problems - sharpening analytical judgment before jumping to solutions: https://youtu.be/MexMj6rZlao

It was a pleasure to host this event - please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions.

Best wishes for a productive and inspiring fall semester,

-yao
