    Why Most Companies Still Aren’t Winning with AI

    In this episode of Future Chain, Michael Jung and Jess Williams unpack McKinsey’s latest research: The State of AI in 2025. While nearly every company today is using AI - and many are piloting agents - few have scaled it in ways that drive real enterprise value. The hosts explore what separates AI high performers from the rest. These leading firms aren’t just chasing cost savings. They’re redesigning workflows, investing in innovation, and embracing AI as a growth lever. But it comes with trade-offs. High performers report more workforce disruption and risk exposure - yet they’re also better at managing both. If AI is truly everywhere, why are most companies still stuck at the starting line?

    In this Future Chain episode, Michael Jung and Jess Williams dive into Anthropic’s new report, State of AI Agents, with a sharp focus on what it means for supply chain, procurement, and logistics leaders.

The hosts unpack lessons from sectors like healthcare and finance and explore what it will take for supply chain functions to fully capitalize on this agent-led future. Can logistics, procurement, and planning teams adapt fast enough? This is a public episode.

    Beyond Copilots: Why Agentic AI Could Finally Deliver on the GenAI Promise

The hosts explore how agentic AI, intelligent agents that proactively drive tasks, decisions, and collaboration, might be the key to breaking through. But unlocking that value means more than tech upgrades. It requires rethinking workflows, leadership, and governance from the ground up. Is your organization ready for the shift from copilots to autonomous agents? This is a public episode.
