Supply chains are all fundamentally designed to handle disruptions, routinely adapting to changing conditions.
However, not every supply chain is resilient and agile enough to respond to major disruptions like those arising from the coronavirus pandemic.
The impacts of COVID-19 caused many companies to initiate layoffs, liquidate assets and even file for bankruptcy protection.
Others were able to use technology to quickly see and understand how their businesses were affected, take corrective actions and even grow — not just surviving but thriving.
The study outlined in this paper serves as a blueprint for how to prepare for future disruptions, whether they come from competition, technology, climate, pandemics, economic turmoil, trade wars or any other challenge.
The data-driven insights and best practices included here can help organizations better respond to disruptive events of any size, mitigate business risks and capture unexpected growth opportunities along the way.
