WEBINAR: Disrupted Global Supply Chains - What Now? What Next?
DI-Members are exclusively invited to get insights into the disruption of global supply chains caused by COVID-19. This business dialogue provides you with perspectives on global supply chains right now and in the future while diving into several interesting questions on the topic.
Not only markets but also global supply chains have been disrupted during the last couple of months. In this business dialogue, we attempt to outline the impact of the pandemic across global economies, industries, and markets – and more specifically on the topic, global supply chains, we attempt to outline what is required to shape the optimal conditions for future resilient supply chains and recovery at these most challenging of times.
The economic consequences from the pandemic continue to mount its impact around the global business ecosystem, disrupt productions, upset supply chains, and destroying demand. Consequently, this development raises basic questions about what the future will look like and bring:
- The decisions manufacturers, retailers, and their suppliers are going to make will be decisive; but who will come out as winners, and who will be the losers?
- What will likely be the right moves?
- What will characterize the companies that will survive after the crisis has passed
- And what can we learn from earlier times and related responses?
