Why should you attend this online Insight Briefing?

The COVID-19 crisis has challenged the global supply chain across industries and sectors. For some organizations, the crisis has exposed sub-optimal flexibility in the multiple layers of their supply chains as well as vulnerabilities in their sourcing strategies. For many companies as well as for supply chain professionals, the crisis has been a wake-up call to transform their supply chain strategies and consider actions that can improve their resilience to future disruptions.

Our ‘Beyond the Crisis: How COVID-19 will change the design, planning and operation of global supply chains’ online event will review what the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us about supply chain performance in this challenging period and will explore how organizations can be prepared for similar disruptions in the future.
 
           
 The Panel will discuss

 How the COVID crisis has impacted supply chains in different regions and sectors 

How supply chains are likely to evolve in the post-COVID-19 world

 How SCM technologies could evolve to better prepare organizations to similar disruptions in the future
