"We have more supply chain data than ever, but I still learn about issues from my regional managers, not my systems.” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. According to PwC’s 2025 Digital Trends in Operations Survey, 92% of operations leaders say their technology investments haven’t delivered the visibility they expected. The problem isn’t a lack of technology; it is disconnected data, inconsistent processes, and systems that fail to deliver the predictive insight that AI-powered visibility can enable. In his latest LinkedIn Pulse article, Manish Srivastava (Senior Vice President – Decision Intelligence Advisory & Supply Chain, C5i) explains why visibility remains the biggest blind spot in modern supply chains, and how Connected Intelligence and Command Centers are helping global enterprises close the gap between data and decisions. A must-read for anyone looking to move from visibility gaps to real-time control: https://lnkd.in/dKB5__A4 #C5iHumanAIImpact #GenAI #TransformativeIntelligence #Innovation #FutureTech #TrustworthyAI #BusinessImpact #SupplyChain #ConnectedIntelligence #CommandCenters

In a world where trends go viral overnight, waiting weeks for consumer insights is no longer an option. That’s the speed gap most brands face today. In his latest article, Jasmeet Singh Nagpal (Senior Analyst – Retail, CPG & Manufacturing at C5i) explores why the old playbook for understanding consumers no longer works, and how AI is helping brands keep pace with the modern consumer. Instead of relying on surveys that take weeks or focus groups that capture only part of the picture, AI enables brands to understand what’s happening right now — across millions of unstructured data points from social, reviews, and conversations. And the next leap forward goes even further: with C5i’s Synthetic Audiences, brands can simulate real consumer behavior using AI-generated virtual personas, enabling faster, privacy-safe, and more confident decisions.
