Together, they unpack how supply chain leaders can use AI not as a shiny object, but as an enabler of better, faster, and more confident decision-making.Anouk shares why decision intelligence is now a survival skill for modern businesses, and how companies can build the agility and mindset needed to thrive amid constant disruption.Joy offers her perspective on change management and the human side of digital transformation, explaining why technology alone isn’t enough without trust, transparency, and a people-first culture. From decoupling data and decision flows to scaling AI adoption through trust and clarity, they explore actionable insights for leaders ready to turn transformation into lasting impact.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(01:45) Meet Joy Taylor and Anouk Schoenmakers(03:07) Personal insights and warm-up questions(07:44) Diving into AI and supply chain(16:37) The role of AI in decision making(20:42) Decoupling physical and data flows(24:08) Empowering people with AI(27:21) Pro tip for leaders: eliminating barriers(27:52) The forward pass analogy: embracing change(28:51) Optimizing speed and scale in AI(30:24) The importance of trust in AI adoption(33:46) Change management: people first approach(37:18) Building an AI culture(40:18) Real-world AI success stories(48:11) Exciting future for BluecruxAdditional Links and ResourcesConnect with Joy Taylor: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-taylor-womanleader/Connect with Anouk Schoenmakers: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anouk-schoenmakers-45a81713/Learn more about Bluecrux: https://www.bluecrux.com/Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
