Welcome to the second episode of our podcasts with the legend that is Jim Tompkins. In this episode, we go from the chaos of “whack-a-mole” through toilet paper (!) during the recent pandemic, climate change, and disruption of world trade but then hit the calmer seas of finding out who inspired Jim by underscoring his work and how he found out that life is just not fair.
We discuss the wisdom of “one size fits one” and ask and answer the question as to whether businesses today have sufficient options to survive and thrive – Jim’s perceptive view of the need for “Optionality”. All of this is spiced up with Human Intelligence, AI, SETI and what we do to prevent Luddism.
Jim is inspiring and very much deserving of respect, 5 decades of business excellence, thought provocation, author, and thought leader but most of all, a damned nice and interesting guy to talk to that still works to change and improve the world of supply chain. Simply, a legend in his own lifetime.
