Global supply chains facing disruption is nothing new. But what’s the one thing supply chain leaders can do right now to start driving resilience for their teams and organisations? In this week’s episode Blue Yonder’s Vice President of Supply Chain Advisory Shirell James answers this question with host Aaron McMillan.
Shirell explains why visibility is no longer about preparing for every possible disruption but, rather, about having visibility to identify risks as they occur. She discusses why this helps leaders tackle growing unpredictability, respond more flexibly and improve decision-making, planning and strategic continuity.
Key takeaways: now is the time to connect your data; use control towers, if you’re not already; and don’t forget the importance of leadership, relationships and trust.
