  • Onboarding for Impact: Maximizing Your First 90 Days
    Jan 29 2026

    Starting a new supply chain role?

    What you do after accepting the offer may matter more than the offer itself.

    In our latest Supply Chain Career Catalyst episode, we break down why onboarding is one of the most underestimated inflection points in a career — and how to turn your first 90 days into real momentum.

    This conversation covers:
    • What to do before day one
    • How to approach your first week
    • How to build credibility in your first 30, 60, and 90 days
    • Why relationships matter more than process early on

    If you’re starting a new role in 2026, this one is worth your time.

  • 2025 to 2026 Supply Chain Talent, Technology, and Career Outlook
    Dec 17 2025

    As supply chain leaders and professionals look ahead to 2026, one reality remains unchanged. Supply chains still exist to move, make, store, and deliver the goods and services people rely on every day. Food must be produced and distributed. Energy demand continues to rise. Products still need to move from suppliers to manufacturers to customers.

    What has changed is the level of complexity required to manage those flows effectively.

    In this episode of the Supply Chain Career Catalyst podcast, Rodney Apple, Chris Gaffney, and Mike Ogle discuss the forces shaping supply chain careers today. Their conversation spans technology adoption, skills gaps, labor market shifts, risk management, and what both employers and professionals must do to remain competitive in an increasingly uncertain environment.
