Supply Chain Seminar “Data Ownership and Transparent Surveillance Across Digital Supply Chain Networks”

The utilization of digital supply chains to manage the “Internet of Things” (IoT) enabled product and services delivery across multiple participants raises fundamental questions concerning invasive surveillance and who owns the data that is gathered. Organizations that are not transparent about how their systems gather product data telemetry (without offering shared data ownership and economic value partnerships) risk product rejection, regulatory scrutiny, and increase customer lack of trust in technology in general. This seminar will explore the need for organizations to be explicit concerning data ownership and transparent about the surveillance their digital supply chain systems conduct in order to obtain the willing participation in the use and adoption of these technologies across their supply chain networks.
