    The following message is posted on behalf of Kinaxis Inc:

    As a long-time partner to the INFORMS community, Kinaxis was pleased to sponsor the INFORMS MSOM conference at McGill University. We enjoyed exchanging ideas on innovations in AI/ML for supply chain, discussing our free Kinaxis Academic Program and elevating supply chain talent. In response to the pressing need for 'supply chain talent', we invite supply chain practitioners at all stages of their career to participate in an independent study sponsored by Kinaxis to examine ways to attract, retain and advance talent.  The survey takes only minutes to complete. We look forward to sharing the aggregated results later this year. Please also follow us on LinkedIn for ongoing updates.

    Thanks so much for your help and support! Have a great weekend! 

    Best,

    Mindi and Team

    An important effort.   My observation over 50 years is the key to keeping talent is relevance.  Is the work relevant technically and business impact.  This also requires early on the talent recognize the report is an important as the algorithm.

    I'm not a supply chain practitioner - I'm a mechanical engineer in the power generation industry. My advice on retaining talent is to promote good leaders. Good talent will stick around if treated well.
