The Skill Gap Myth With Meghan O’Doherty and Thomas Pocock

In this podcast, host Thomas O’Connor is joined by guests Meghan O’Doherty and Thomas Pocock to discuss what chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) can do to avoid accepting the skill gap myth as fact. The guests discuss how the expectations that supply chain leaders now have of their staff members have grown exponentially during the years to include strategic skills that these workers may not have previously displayed. If your team isn’t consistently displaying the strategic skills you need, don’t subscribe to the skill gap myth, as it might be that there is something about your functional climate that doesn’t allow your team to apply those skills.
