Navigating the Turns: Preparing Supply Chains to Think and Act Differently

Top performers defy conventional thinking during disruptions. The most successful companies take risks at these times, which can be economic, geopolitical, environmental, social or competitive. While some focus only on short-term mitigation tactics, top performers defy conventional thinking by maintaining focus on long-term strategy and implementing preconceived plans when anticipated disruptions occur.
