Corey Weekes — former VP, Global Logistics at Canada Goose and Managing Partner at The Eighty-Four Group — led a hands-on session on putting AI to work in supply chain operations. Corey brings 25+ years in the function and now leads AI implementations for supply chain teams.
In this 45 minute session, Corey connected AI and workflow automation to what actually moves the P&L: profitability, working capital, and ROCE.
He covered practical ground — how to avoid overpaying for logistics, put inventory to work instead of leaving it in storage, and surface the margin your current reports miss. He also covered where AI genuinely adds value vs. where straightforward automation is the better tool, and how to combine both with trusted data, clear rules, and human approval points.
Attendees left with a repeatable way to pick a first use case and build a business case your CFO can pressure-test — separating time saved, cash released, and profit earned from implementation and ongoing costs.
