We will be touching on how COVID is affecting supply chains in these major regions of the world as well as touching on some of the major hot topics in supply chain at the moment such as the volatility and wild price rises in the ocean freight market and how the supply chain will be impacted by the climate change agenda now that we have a new direction in this regard with the Biden Administration in the US and the growing expectation building around the COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow later this year where Boris Johnson will look to burnish his green credentials.

We will also be reviewing those sectors that have been resilient to or have grown because of the pandemic to see what that might tell us about future business opportunities and change.

To discuss these topics I am delighted to be joined by:

• Antonio Zrilic – President of the supply chain and logistics consultancy Logiko, based in Zagreb in Croatia.

In this episode we are going to be taking a deeper dive into the world of the supply chain, with a group of international experts, all colleagues of mine from the Supply Chain Special Interest Group at the Society for the Advancement of Consulting (SAC).

We are already hearing a lot about supply chains in 2021 in Europe because of the effects of Brexit and the many supply issues and import and export challenges arising between UK and EU with the end of the transition period. Supply chains are also in the news globally at this time with the keen focus on the roll-out of the various COVID vaccines all across the world.

Another crucial element of global supply chains over the last 20 years or so has been the growing role of China and its transformation into the factory of the world and a lynchpin of many global supply chains - remember the PPE scramble in spring 2020? Our tertulia participants today from come from North America, Australia, and Europe, three regions with extensive economic and supply chain links to China that are undergoing change for multiple economic, political, and geopolitical reasons right now.

To discuss these issues I am delighted to be joined by:

• Rebecca Morgan, President of Fulcrum Consulting Works, Cleveland. Ohio in the US.

In this episode of interlinks we are going to repeat the format that we initiated last month of taking a deeper dive into the world of the supply chain, with a group of international experts, all colleagues of mine from the Supply Chain Special Interest Group at the Society for the Advancement of Consulting.

We are going to hear a lot about supply chains in 2021, not least because they will be swinging into action around the world in the roll-out of the various COVID vaccines that are being approved.

On top of that they are an essential concern of the sustainability agenda of international businesses as they, their customers and their investors become ever more sensitive to the environmental impact of their activities.

Supply chains will also be heavily impacted here in northwestern Europe in the countries that trade most with the UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland and of course the UK itself, when the UK Brexit transition period ends at the end of the month, whether there is a deal or no deal.

So, to discuss these issues I am delighted to be joined by:

• Antonio Zrilic – Managing Director of the supply chain consultancy, Logiko, in Zagreb, Croatia.

• Mark Wolf, CEO of LavaFish Advisors, a consultancy specialised in helping businesses address their sustainability ambitions based in New York City.

• Lisa Anderson, President of LMA Consulting Group, located in the Greater Los Angeles area in California.
