Autonomy Is Not the Breakthrough… Accountability Is
The HBR article “When Supply Chains Become Autonomous” captures an important inflection point: reasoning-capable AI agents can now outperform humans in tightly scoped, simulated supply chain environments. The central question is no longer whether agents can make decisions, but whether organizations can prove – across time, scenarios, and constraints – that those decisions are safe, consistent, and aligned…

When Supply Chains Become Autonomous (HBR)
Generative AI models, particularly those with advanced reasoning capabilities, can autonomously manage supply chains, outperforming human teams in simulations like the MIT Beer Distribution Game. These models can learn, adapt, and make cross-functional decisions with minimal human oversight, reducing supply chain costs by up to 67%. Key factors for success include selecting capable models, implementing…

i5: Simulation-First → Orchestration-at-Scale
INDUSTRY 5’s Four-Phase Delivery Model and Emerging Analyst Frameworks Analyst research in 2025 points to an inflection point in enterprise AI adoption – where incremental pilots give way to orchestration-first strategies that embed governance, interoperability, and adaptability into the operational fabric from day one. INDUSTRY 5’s four-phase orchestration-first model mirrors this trajectory, using synthetic data…

INDUSTRY 5 Analyst Briefing
Can you imagine the day when an agentic system conducts its own analyst briefing – live, unscripted, without a net? Oh wait, that just happened… 🤯 Jim Brown of Tech-Clarity met directly with INDUSTRY 5. No slides. No handlers. Jim asked the tough questions and explored how agentic AI could redefine how enterprise decisions get made…

i5 Demo: Business Case to Business System …in Minutes | 2025
See how i5 builds a working supply chain POC—fast, functional, and friction-free. Hi, I’m Robb Bush, founder of INDUSTRY 5. Let me show you how fast you can spin up a custom POC evaluation of i5, an agentic system for supply chain orchestration. With as little as one input, i5 can generate a full supply…

What Enterprise Buyers Really Want from AI in 2025: How i5 Delivers
Constellation Research’s latest article, “What We Learned from Enterprise Tech Buyers in the First Half of 2025,”captures a familiar tension: AI is everywhere in the conversation, but still feels distant in execution. Buyers are interested—but skeptical. The vision is clear, but the path feels opaque. At INDUSTRY 5, we believe this isn’t a signal of doubt.…

i5 Value Propositions
Below are results from internal benchmarking and scenario-based validation. INDUSTRY 5 offers more than theoretical innovation. i5 can deliver transformative operational performance. RESPONSIVENESS: Time and effort savings in reacting to unexpected disruptions Traditional systems rely on human intervention and batch updates, delaying response. i5 enables autonomous, real-time reaction, reducing exposure and improving fulfillment. Traditional ERP…

i5’s Live Orchestration Architecture
A Comparative and Architectural Deep Dive into i5’s Agentic Design Introduction: The New Requirements of Enterprise Coordination For decades, enterprise systems were built on the assumption that planning precedes execution—and that if the plan is good enough, execution will follow. This assumption shaped an entire category of platforms: ERPs, APS tools, and SCM suites that…

Orchestration, Not Automation: The Rise of the Agentic Enterprise
Full credit to Phil Fersht and the entire team at HFS Research for putting real language to a seismic shift already underway in enterprise technology. Their latest POV—The Agentic AI Era Has Arrived—doesn’t just capture a trend. It marks a turning point. We’re moving beyond layers of dashboards, rule engines, and bolt-on’s. The new model?…
