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.

Real stories: People first – Leadership lessons in driving digital supply chain transformation

Digital transformation is what most companies do, but only a few report that they have successfully achieved their aspiration. Why? Because digital transformation starts with people and organization, not with technology. Adapting the organization to be future-ready is the foundation of lasting competitive advantage. Drawing from her experience leading large-scale change management initiatives, special guest Eliza Simeonova, Quality Supply Chain Operations Officer with Haleon, joins Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Jake Barr, along with OMP Chief Commercial & Markets Officer, Philip Vervloesem, to discuss how smart talent, capability, and organizational choices create real value and how people strategy is adapted to match business goals. This session shares proven approaches for upskilling talent and building teams that confidently leverage AI and digital tools, turning challenging transformations into measurable business results throughout the supply chain. What You’ll Walk Away With: Inspiration to see why the supply chain of the future depends on bold, adaptive leaders—not just faster systems. A new perspective on why waiting for the “perfect” structure or rollout could be holding you back. Insight into how human-centered approaches—investing in people, planning, and end-to-end optimization—deliver the sharpest competitive edge.
