76: From the Shop Floor to Software: Blake Strickland on Supply Chain Connected Worker

from She Supply Chains · host Supply Chain Experts | Katie Holman & Courtney Andersen

In this episode of the She Supply Chains Podcast, VP of Product Management at Redzone Blake Strickland joins hosts Katie and Courtney to discuss the transformative power of connected worker technology in manufacturing. Blake recounts her journey from a chemical engineering student at Ohio State to an industry leader, highlighting how digital tools and real-time data can empower the frontline, reduce turnover, and foster a "winning mentality" through friendly competition. She shares impactful success stories, including a produce plant that achieved a 60% reduction in turnover using specialized learning modules, and discusses the future of AI in manufacturing as a tool to solve problems before they even happen. Beyond the technology, Blake offers an "unfiltered truth" for women in male-dominated fields, reflecting on a time when her college engineering building lacked proper women's restrooms to emphasize the importance of authenticity and finding one’s voice. ✨ Connect with Blake! 📱LinkedIn | Blake 💻Learn more on the topics discussed here: Gartner - Future of Work Trends 2026 Samsung Business Insights - A Day in the Life of a Connected Manufacturing Worker ✨ Connect with us! 📱LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-supply-chains/ 📱INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/shesupplychainspodcast/ 📱TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@shesupplychainspodcast 🎧 Call to Action Follow She Supply Chains on your favorite podcast app Leave us a review — it helps more listeners find the show Share this episode with someone you think would love it
