Ready to revolutionize your understanding of supply chain resilience? This week's Chain Reaction Podcast promises to unpack strategic moves and insightful reports shaping the global supply chain landscape. We'll explore IKEA's bold strategy to regionalize production closer to the Americas, mitigating risks such as Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. Dive into HSBC's comprehensive report on supply chain resilience, focusing on risk assessments and planning for unforeseen disruptions, from geopolitical tensions to natural disasters. Plus, we tackle Nick Clegg’s controversial remarks on Europe’s AI innovation landscape and Meta's concerns over EU regulatory pressures, particularly the Digital Markets Act.

We also turn our attention to labor disputes and their potential to wreak havoc on global supply chains. Discover the ripple effects of Hyundai workers’ demands for higher wages and profit-sharing in South Korea, alongside the challenges facing the aircraft industry, where giants like Boeing and Airbus struggle to meet output targets, impacting airlines such as Lufthansa. As we wrap up, get a sneak peek at upcoming episodes, including a compelling discussion with Madhu Hosagura on the intersection of artificial intelligence and sustainability at Schneider Electric.
