CAPS research studies are fueled by involvement from best-in-class organizations that are willing to share their stories. Your experience can help advance the profession and provide valuable insight for other professionals.
Our researchers are seeking to meet with leaders or relevant team members on the following projects:
- Redesigning Supply Talent in the Age of AI: This project explores how AI and digital transformation are reshaping supply management roles, talent acquisition and development, competencies, and team structures. We are interested in how supply chain leaders are responding to these challenges. We aim to provide CPOs with frameworks and guidance on redesigning workforce strategies to succeed in the AI-driven future.
- Supplier Strategies to Reduce Scope 3 Upstream Emissions: This study examines the role of purchasing and supply management in reducing Scope 3 upstream emissions. We will focus on practical strategies, supplier engagement, and the challenges organizations face when moving from measurement to strategies for reducing Scope 3 emissions. We are interested in talking to companies that have implemented Scope 3 emission reduction strategies, have plans to do so, or have opinions about Scope 3 emission reduction.
