Case Study Highlights
Chuck Graham has rebuilt Cisco’s supply chain strategy around three pillars.
The first is segmentation: seven distinct, modular supply chains now serve 17 business units, giving Cisco tailored capability to scale with precision.
The second is a new planning paradigm, taking a more centralized approach that drives greater accountability and deeper collaboration with the business, using AI to cut the time spent collecting data.
The third is embedding AI itself, preparing leaders to operate in an era of agents.
Underneath all three, Chuck holds ethics as a foundation, treating circular design and sustainability as drivers of long-term value, not just moral obligations.
