80: AI Series: Now What? Michelle McBride's Take on Agentic AI in Supply Chain

This episode of the She Supply Chains Podcast officially kicks off the "Summer School Series" with a deep dive into the world of Artificial Intelligence. We welcome Michelle McBride, the Head of Product for Envoy AI, to separate flashy AI marketing from real-world logistics value. With over two decades of industry experience, Michelle shares her front-row perspective on the evolution of transportation management systems. She explains how the industry has shifted from basic data centralization to the modern era of "agentic AI"—technologies designed to actively solve execution problems and act as the crucial "now what?" when supply chain disruptions occur. The conversation also tackles the cultural hurdles of change management and how companies can build a successful AI mindset by targeting their most frustrating, repetitive tasks.  ✨ Connect with Michelle! 📱LinkedIn | Michelle 💻Learn more on the topics discussed here:  "How AI Agents Are Transforming Supply Chains" – Boston Consulting Group (BCG) "Does AI spell the end for freight brokers?" – Kearney ✨ 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
