Advanced Analytics, AI, ML, Blockchains, and Platforms are improving human well-being. It is valuable when Advanced Analytics predicts market fluctuations or optimizes customer portfolios. It is convenient when AI and ML improve operational efficiency or recommend the next customer purchase. It is comforting when Blockchains transparently record and preserve incorruptible information. It is commendable when Platforms create multiplier effects for good. It is priceless when these tools work to rescue a life. Could businesses somehow eradicate modern day slavery in their global supply chains with these tools? This task is daunting with thousands of suppliers behind popular products, but businesses are using analytics to find patterns, increase supply chain transparency, reduce reputational risk, and prevent lost revenue, in addition to rescuing lives. In this session, Kendra Taylor of KEYfficiencies, reviews how some businesses use analytics to end human trafficking in global supply chains and what the future might hold.
