Our profession has a tendency to disconnect discussions about how to create high performing supply chains from how to create high performing supply chain employees and teams. We see this in both business and academia. In business, HR is often seen as more administrative than strategic, and supply chain and HR metrics and strategy are often not aligned. It’s a similar situation in academia, with even the great Michael Porter viewing HR as an administrative role. In this webinar, as part of our webinar series, “The Bridge,” we’ll explore the reasons behind the disconnect and how to bridge the gap between supply chains and the people who run them.

Economic and geopolitical shifts may change the landscape—but they don’t change the fundamentals of building a strong, resilient supply chain. In this webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome Dave Pollard, VP of Supply Chain & Logistics for OMNIA Partners and Jaron Klopstein, Director of Sales at WWEX Group to explore how organizations can improve supply chain performance and drive business results regardless of market conditions. We’ll discuss how to assess the current environment—economic trends, geopolitical influences, and operational pressures—to identify the right areas for improvement. You’ll learn how our proven sourcing methodology delivers consistent, measurable results by applying the same core building blocks with tailored adjustments to reflect today’s realities. Attendees of this webinar will walk away with tangible, proven best practices to enhance their next transportation and logistics sourcing event and position their business for success. Whether the economy is expanding or contracting, the need for effective supply chain solutions never disappears. Join us to discover how a disciplined, strategic approach can bring rigor, value, and lasting impact to your organization.
