25 senior supply chain leaders on AI, permanent disruption, talent and new KPIs. Eight insights on the future of supply chain teams.
In September 2026, Moddule hosted the first Global Supply Chain Forum at the Royal Automobile Club in London. Twenty-five senior supply chain leaders took part. They came from FMCG, retail, fashion, manufacturing, consulting and academia, and between them they represent more than £700B in annual revenue. The evening ran under the Chatham House Rule and focused on one question: what will the supply chain team of 2030 actually do?
The leaders agreed that disruption is now permanent and that AI will reshape supply chain roles more than any change in 30 years. The team they described for 2030 is measured on the value it creates. It acts early on signals instead of fighting fires, and it works with AI that recommends while people make the final decisions. It also connects commercial, planning and operations teams. The report breaks this down into eight insights, covering competitive advantage, talent, silos and the gap between ambition and reality.
