The symbiotic relationship between people and technology is advancing the vision for a unified supply chain and pushing the limits of innovation and progress to new heights. Dirk Beveridge knows this better than anyone. As the Executive Producer of the We Supply America Tour, which just wrapped filming on season 4, he spent the last several months on the road traveling across the United States to meet and learn from the purpose-driven visionaries leading distribution businesses. Join Dirk and Mark Gilham, VP of Rebate Strategy at Enable, along with Supply Chain Now host Scott Luton, as they discuss how supply chain relationships are evolving through tighter collaboration and the integration of the right technologies for the right jobs. Learn new strategies to mitigate supply chain turbulence and ensure you’re on the right trajectory to meet your 2024 business objectives.

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
