In between Seasons 2 and 3, co-hosts Ted Stank and Tom Goldsby were at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) Conference, where they caught up with Kate Vitasek, a GSCI Fellow and internationally renowned business leader, educator, and founder of Vested, a model for creating highly collaborative business relationships in which both parties are equally committed to each other’s success.

Vitasek and her Vested model were nominated for the CSCMP Supply Chain Innovation and Teaching Innovation awards.

Later this month, she will operate back-to-back courses on UT’s campus: Vested Executive Education (Oct. 28-30) and Collaborative Contracting (Oct. 31-Nov. 1). She also offers virtual courses and opportunities worldwide. You won’t want to miss out!

***Vitasek is offering a full scholarship to Ports and their management to send a group to Knoxville to attend either course***

The episode was recorded live on September 30, 2024, during the CSCMP Edge Conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
