Guideposts from Global Disruption: Engineering a more resilient supply chain presented by Jeff Jorge, Principal, Baker Tilly
With the pace and magnitude of global disruptions, organizations dealing in physical goods have had to evaluate their supply chain to accommodate for trade tensions, logistic pressures and overall economic uncertainty. Factor in the sector-specific nuances of the OES channel and the macro-level complexities further intensify.
As we – individuals and companies alike – adapt to this new environment, companies in the OES sector are called to rethink their supply chain if they are to become more flexible and responsive – and to do so sustainably.
At the end of this session, attendees will:
•Outline five critical guideposts shaping the norm of high-performing supply chains
•Understand how to leverage such guideposts to inject supply chain resilience
•Translate findings into organizational development and leadership actions to effect sustainable change and resilience.
