discover, once tested, that they actually have none.
Predictive supply chain management is therefore
not a defensive measure. It is a mindset in which
the company does not wait for problems to occur
but continuously builds scenarios that simulate potential
disruptions — and constructs bridges in advance that
will hold when the real crisis comes.
3. The Power of Data and Digital Teams: A System
Meant to Live, Not Just Exist
The third idea points to the technological foundation
of running a modern company. The discussion made
it clear that a true competitive advantage does not
come from simply having ERP, APS, PLM, MES or WMS
systems. Everyone has those today.
The winners are those who can:
• connect these systems into one living, agile
ecosystem,
• enrich it with AI tools that assess risks faster than
any human — and crucially, understand broader
context,
• strengthen it with digital specialists embedded
directly within individual business units, not only
in central IT.
The future belongs to companies that can turn data
into a strategic compass — not an archive of the past.
To companies that understand that decision-making
must be built on a real, visualised and interconnected
view of the entire product lifecycle and the whole
supply chain.
If there was ever doubt about whether data can create
a competitive advantage, this meeting confirmed
it clearly: they can — and they must.
The Future Will Be Shaped by Leaders Who Support
and Inspire Each Other
Our meeting at Škoda Vagonka was not merely
an exchange of best practices. It was proof that senior
executives willing to share their experience openly
and inspire others create a kind of value no technology
can replace.
The Leaders Club was founded precisely for this
purpose — to be a space where people meet not only
to run industry, but to shape its future.
If you are a CXO, business owner, director, industrial
innovator or leader who wants to be part of a community
that shares top-tier know-how and sets the standard for
strategic thinking, I invite you to join us.
The future belongs to those who can predict it.
And in the Leaders Club, we create it together.
