China’s costly Zero Covid policies, and other major supply chain crises have shined a spotlight on the importance of supply chain resilience and the need to make it sustainable. The major crises of the last few years have caught many organizations by surprise, offering very little time to respond to the multiple ongoing disruptions in the global supply chain. The hard lesson learned by major organizations is the need to build sustainable resilience. This can be achieved by building trust with their suppliers, leveraging AI technologies to gain better visibility, identifying vulnerabilities within their supply chain, and speeding up organizational responsiveness.

Hosted by Resilinc’s Supply Chain Management Professor, Kedge Business School (France), Walid Klibi, and Supply Chain Practice Director, Inetum, Marie-Ange Giuseppin, Vice-President EMEA, Resilinc, Christophe Phillipart this session covered:

  • Why a “boom/bust” investment pattern is not helping companies become more resilient
  • How to implement a sustainable Supply Resiliency Program within your organization
  • Leveraging new systems of record - AI technologies to support your resiliency Program
  • The need to change the corporate culture as a backbone of resiliency sustainability
