Content: Supply chain challenges
Supply chains lack global resilience and are breaking down in the face of multi-country disruptions. Supply chain and operations are becoming more costly (eg less global and ecommerce fulfillment costs) – and can often represent a company’s highest costs. The significant impacts that supply chains and operations have on the planet and society are not meeting stakeholders’ expectations for sustainability. Talent gaps across the supply chain and operations continue to create high dependency on the human workforce. A lack of flexibility inhibits the ability to address customer demands for personalization and customization. IT systems continue to be expensive to run, inflexible and often over-reliant on legacy technologies. View All

As they respond to both the immediate impacts of the pandemic and prepare for what comes next, a continuous cycle of risk mobilizing, sensing, analysis, configuration, and operation will help to optimize results and mitigate risks: The COVID-19 pandemic is not just a short-term crisis.
