Dave Crysler welcomes Cody Fisher back for part two of their three-part series on transforming the healthcare supply chain. This episode gets tactical, digging into why supply chain teams stay stuck in firefighting mode, how leaders can build a culture of innovation without mandating it from a distance, and what it actually looks like to adopt AI and automation when your data is far from perfect.
What You'll Discover:
• Why most firefighting isn't caused by too many problems, but by no way to prioritize them
• How Cody built a personal "shadow team" of AI agents to scale his own productivity
• Why the gap between organizations embracing innovation and those resisting it widens by the hour, not by the quarter
• The leadership principle that nobody is above the need to be more productive, and why it starts at the top
• Why expecting AI tools to be 100% perfect is the fastest way to never use them, and how a 90/10 mindset changes everything
• How to use automation to clean your data and leverage it simultaneously instead of waiting for perfect
• Why the organizations thinking five steps ahead are stacking blocks in a different order than everyone else
Whether you lead supply chain operations or any team stuck in reactive mode, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for moving from firefighting to forward progress.
