The global supply chain has faced unprecedented disruptions, exposing vulnerabilities and reshaping consumer demands. These challenges forced companies to rethink their strategies and elevate supply chain conversations, making resilience a cornerstone of survival.
Now, however, there is a risk of reverting to outdated practices—letting your supply chain strategy become a second-class priority once more. Yet, the lessons of the past are clear. To thrive in today's ever-evolving global market, your supply chain must remain a central, strategic focus.
