Major global events have brought to the forefront the impact of supply chains on everything from the success of companies and the health of individuals to global prosperity. As global business and geopolitical conditions change radically, it is imperative that supply chain strategies and operations transform to thrive in a volatile environment. Leaders have come to recognize the critical importance of resilience, agility, flexibility, and assurance of supply.

- How supply chains have enabled profitable and beneficial growth in the evolving world
- The evolution of “the new customers” and what they demand
- The critical success factors for managing demand and supply in a complex and risky world
- Information, data, governance, analytics and measurements that guide strategic choices
- Resilience, risk, and supply assurance
- Sustainable supply chains and the environment
