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.

In a new survey of 1000 global supply chain leaders, 50% reported that they experienced three or more significant supply chain events last year. And most leading analysts agree challenges still lie ahead. What did they learn from these disruptions? What challenges do they anticipate in 2023? What actions do they plan to take to better prepare for what lies ahead? Join the Supply Chain Now webinar featuring KPMG’s Rob Barrett and Coupa’s Nari Viswanathan on March 30th to explore these questions along with the top concerns and priorities for supply chain decision-makers in the months ahead supported by the findings from the recent 2023 State of Supply Chains Report survey. They will discuss: How supply chain leaders are approaching current and anticipated challenges Where to focus time, energy, and resources to optimize costs, manage risk, and build resilience Recommendations for how leaders can embrace technology and digital solutions to improve their supply chain agility
