Organizations aren't struggling with AI technology - they're struggling with adoption.   That was one of the clearest messages from last week's ASCM & IBF Best of the Best S&OP Conference, where Miebach's Christine Barnhart, CPIM, PMP joined industry leaders discussing the future of planning and business transformation.   One theme surfaced repeatedly: successful transformation depends as much on people and leadership as it does on technology.   Key takeaways: ✅ S&OP is a business process, not just a supply chain process ✅ AI success depends on adoption, training, and governance ✅ Communication, storytelling, and critical thinking remain critical skills ✅ Change management and leadership drive lasting results   Our perspective: organizations that align people, processes, and technology are far more likely to realize sustainable value from transformation initiatives.   Which transformation challenge is proving most difficult in your organization today?
