The Discussion Of The Century, NOW

Bart and Nathan meet with Jim McCullen, CTO at Century Supply Chain Solutions, at TPM 2026, to explore how forward-thinking service providers like Century are already embedding many of the NOW principles into their offerings, helping customers navigate a world where disruptions, complexity, and speed are the new normal.

More Highlights From The Discussion

Century Supply Chain Orchestration
Supply chains today are full of moving parts — carriers, ports, vendors, ERP systems, inventory priorities, and constant disruptions happening around the world. The question is: who is orchestrating it all?
The N.O.W. Acronym
In today’s environment, supply chains aren’t just about moving goods. They’re about connecting intelligence, orchestrating action, and creating visibility across entire ecosystems.
Agentic AI Focus At Century
Century AI In Action: An ocean carrier confirms a booking on a different vessel than requested, an AI agent can evaluate the situation, checking transit times and delivery commitments, and determine if human intervention is required.
NOW vs Gartner
Bart explains how his experience at Gartner helped shape the NOW philosophy — and why it differs from the way traditional research and consulting frameworks often approach supply chain transformation.
