## Resource

In this episode of The Buzz, we break down rising cargo theft, global supply chain disruptions, and the growing gap in AI readiness—plus what it all means for leaders trying to stay ahead—welcome to The Buzz, powered by DOSS! Hosts Scott Luton and Yaseen Ahmid break down major forces shaping today’s supply chains—from geopolitical disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and its ripple effects on fuel, fertilizer, and costs, to a surprising gap in AI readiness where most employees can’t apply what they’ve learned. Joined by Danny Ramon, the conversation dives into the rapid rise of cargo theft, how increasingly sophisticated criminal networks are exploiting digital systems and documentation, and why high-demand goods are more vulnerable than ever. This episode delivers clear, real-world insight into where supply chains are most exposed right now—and what leaders must do to stay ahead. Cargo theft is rising fast—with continued double-digit growth and increasing sophistication Criminal networks are exploiting digital gaps, paperwork fraud, and fragmented systems High-demand, easily resold goods (electronics, food, clothing) are top theft targets Global disruptions (fuel, fertilizer, shipping routes) are driving widespread cost increases AI training is falling short—most employees can’t apply it to real workflows Visibility—not just technology—is the key to reducing supply chain risk Economic pressure and global instability are accelerating both disruption and theft If you want to understand where supply chains are most vulnerable right now—and how to stay ahead of rising risk, disruption, and complexity—this episode is a must-listen. The leaders who prioritize visibility, adaptability, and real execution won’t just survive this environment—they’ll outperform it. Additional Lin…
