About The Chain

The Chain is an independent editorial publication exploring how supply chains, procurement, logistics, and operations are reshaping enterprise performance in a volatile and uncertain world.

We focus on perspective, not noise.

Our coverage spans four core areas.

• Strategy & Leadership
  Board-level thinking on resilience, risk, geopolitics, operating models, and how supply chains create value beyond execution.

• Procurement & Value Creation
  Executive insights on procurement strategy, category management, negotiations, and how procurement leaders move from cost control to enterprise impact.

• Technology & Innovation
  Clear-eyed analysis of AI, automation, robotics, and emerging technologies shaping supply chains, manufacturing, and logistics, with a strong focus on real-world use cases.

• Logistics & Operations
  Deep dives into transportation, shipping, warehousing, and operational execution, focusing on what actually works for operators navigating disruption, cost pressure, and complexity.

The Chain publishes feature articles, interviews, podcasts, and selected video content for senior leaders who want context, judgment, and practical insight.

For those looking to go further, The Chain connects to the Global Supply Chain Council (GSCC) and Chain.NET, where members access tools, playbooks, events, and peer discussions designed to turn insight into action.
