WEBINAR: Beyond Resilience: Capitalizing on Supply Chain Uncertainty

The only thing certain in life is that nothing is certain.” So said Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder nearly 2,000 years ago. For supply chain professionals this quote definitely rings true today. Unpredictable shifts in demand and disruptions to supply are becoming more frequent and more severe. Over the last few years, much of our focus has been on building resilient supply chains to prepare for the inevitable, unforeseen challenges ahead. However, some industry leaders are striving to go beyond resiliency to actually take advantage of future disruptions. They see the upside of supply chain uncertainty as an opportunity to capture share from slower competitors.

In this Supply Chain Now webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome special guests John DeSarbo and Bharathi Shankar from ZS to explore how industry leaders are capitalizing on uncertainty by building agility into their operations, rethinking traditional approaches to supply chain management, and utilizing AI and advanced analytics to uncover opportunities to capitalize on changing market dynamics.

The Supply Chain of 2022 and Beyond: Building Resiliency and Agility

Recent disruptions have confirmed that modern supply chains must be built on a more resilient foundation. Not just to help manage risk, but to be better positioned to deal with and even gain advantage from disruptions. Along these lines, the notion of agility is also gaining ground in order to quickly adjust supply chain tactics. The question is: can our supply chains be both at the same time? Join this in-depth discussion as we explore the importance of building robust and responsive supply chains to act as a competitive advantage in 2022 and beyond. In this session, you will learn about: – How organizations need to think beyond the current paradigms of supply chain planning and decisioning – Balancing the need for cost optimization with agility and resiliency – The role of continuous supply chain design as a means to be both agile and resilient – Technology implications to support a continuous design approach Featured Panelists: Lora Cecere, Founder, Supply Chain Insights Madhav Durbha, VP of Supply Chain Strategy, Coupa Scott W Luton, Founder, CEO & Host of Supply Chain Now

Building the New Manufacturing Workforce

As strategic forces push manufacturing back to America, one obstacle threatens progress: finding the right people with the right skills. Before new factories can produce anything, they must be built—requiring a new generation of skilled tradespeople such as electricians, welders, and technicians. And once these modern facilities are operational, companies report an unexpected challenge: the biggest talent gaps aren’t just technical, but also in core soft skills like leadership, critical thinking, and communication. Join Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Allison Giddens as they welcome Alan Amling and Darrell Edwards from the University of Tennessee–Knoxville to explore a practical approach to developing a comprehensive workforce from the ground up. Learn what it truly takes to build, staff, and sustain the next generation of American manufacturing.
