WEBINAR: Breaking Through the Chaos: Supply Chain Maturity in an Age of Economic Volatility

Supply chains today are at a crossroads, grappling with unprecedented levels of complexity brought on by economic volatility, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and rapidly changing customer demands. In this Supply Chain Now webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Karin Bursa will welcome Fred Baumann, Vice President of Industry Strategy at Kinaxis, along with Ryan Goodwin, Senior Director, Advanced Supply Chain at Trinity Industries, and Lizet Tymon, VP of Supply Chain with Rehlko, for a provocative discussion exploring how organizations at different stages of supply chain maturity are responding to these challenges and preparing for the future.

This session will go beyond traditional supply chain topics, diving into:

  1. The Supply Chain Maturity Curve: Insights into how organizations at varying levels of maturity—reactive, predictive, and prescriptive—are adapting their strategies to thrive in volatile conditions.
  2. Economic Resilience Through Innovation:How leading companies are leveraging cutting-edge technologies, data-driven insights, and unconventional strategies to turn uncertainty into opportunity.
  3. Shifting the Narrative: Lessons from the frontlines on breaking free from outdated paradigms to build supply chains that are not just resilient, but transformative.

Whether you’re looking to reimagine your approach to supply chain maturity, navigate the pressures of economic uncertainty, or gain inspiration from unconventional success stories, this session promises to challenge your thinking and provide actionable takeaways.

Join us for a bold conversation about what it really takes to achieve supply chain excellence in today’s unpredictable world.
