COVID-19 has changed everything. 

From the way that we do business, to what customers expect out of brands, to the way that brands interact with their customers.

The truth is, we’re never going back to the way things were in January, 2020. The new normal has yet to be revealed, but businesses are already rethinking their unflinching commitment to global supply chains and considering alternative solutions. 

But such changes are not without risk. 

Our guest on the What Lies Beneath? podcast this week is Bob Brese, VP at Gartner and the former CIO of the Department of Energy, and he had a lot to say around the issue of supply chain risk from the executive level. He also talked all about: 

-Why he thinks there will be more scrutiny from congress moving forward around supply chain risk

-How he sees the executive response to supply chain risk changing as a result of COVID-19

-Why COVID-19 is the greatest forcing function in business innovation in most people’s lifetimes
