Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a self-defense martial art and combat sport that requires years of study, intense concentration, and physical self-mastery. It is essentially high-level problem-solving, albeit with potentially dire physical consequences. That combination of characteristics means that it is not entirely unlike supply chain management, especially at the industry-leading level.

Jim Brochu, is the General Manager for the supply chain division at Pivotree, a leader in frictionless commerce that designs, builds, and manages digital platforms for over 250 major retail and branded manufacturers globally.

In this video interview, Jim shares his perspective on problem-solving and frictionless commerce with hosts Scott Luton and Constantine Limberakis:

• What the concept of frictionless commerce means, and what it should look and feel like from the customer’s perspective

• Opportunities that exist for companies to (truly) optimize their supply chain operations given what everyone has learned over the last few years

• The role that technology can play in helping supply chain teams reduce friction, improve sustainability, enhance collaboration, and increase visibility
