This week we, together with Kyle Winters of the World Economic Forum, explore the evolution of global supply chains through the lens of their report “From Shock to Strategy.” We cover key disruptions, regionalization’s benefits and risks, regulatory compliance, consumer expectations, climate risk mitigation, cybersecurity, and the pillars of future-ready value chains.
