As artificial intelligence transforms every facet of business, today’s supply chains must evolve into adaptive, value-driven ecosystems. But how can organizations manage this shift across complex networks and uncertain markets?

In this session, Mirko Kleiner (President, LAP Alliance), Simon Reindl (Professional Scrum Trainer & Board Member, LAP Alliance) and Eric Naiburg (COO, Scrum.org), share insights from the 2025 Global Annual Report: State of Agility in Procurement & Supply. They’ll explore how the NextGen Supply Chain—empowered by AI, Agile practices, and the Agile Product Operating Model (APOM)—is transforming how value is delivered across enterprises and partner ecosystems.

Key takeaways include:

-How the APOM provides a structured foundation for aligning strategy, people, and governance around outcomes
-Why agile practices and Lean-Agile Procurement are now essential to cross-company collaboration
-What’s blocking agility today: executive sponsorship gaps, cultural resistance, and legacy contracting models
-What’s next in 2025: AI-enhanced decision-making, adaptive partner networks, and trust-based commercial models

Whether you’re leading digital transformation or rethinking procurement and supply in a volatile world, this session will equip you with frameworks and real-world data to scale agility with impact.
