Patrick Daly Interlinks Podcast

In this episode of Interlinks to do something a little different – we are going delve a little bit deeper into the world of the supply chain with a panel of guests.

Why the supply chain?

Well, because the topic of globalization that we regularly discuss on this program is underpinned and made possible by the international supply chains that function day-in-day out to fulfill our material needs including our food, our clothing, our medicines and all the services that we depend on to make our life what it is – the smartphone in your pocket, the cholesterol tablets you take and the bottle of wine on your dinner table.

To do this I am joined by three colleagues of mine From the Society for the advancement of Consulting (SAC), all independent consultants and thought leaders in their own fields for this Supply Chain informal chat or "Tertulia" as I like to call it.

My guests are:

• Art Koch – President of Arthur Koch Management Consulting, in Miami, Florida .
• Dave Gardner -   Founder of Dave Gardner Biz – a consultancy based in the San Francisco Bay Area in California.
• Diane Garcia – President of Lorraine Consulting based in Portland, Oregon. 

It was a fascinating discussion shining some light on the complex and mysterious world of supply chain that has become so topical and relevant in recent times. I hope you enjoy.

In this episode of Interlinks we talk to Richard Shakespeare, Assistant Chief Executive at Dublin City Council.

As Dubliners we may not be aware that our home city is now ranked as a global alpha city in the ranking of the Globalization and World Cities Research Network putting it among the 30 top cities in the world in terms of economic connectivity. For anyone who lives here or who has visited in recent years, the cosmopolitan hustle and bustle is very evident, but what lies behind that?

Dublin's current success and prominence is a tangible manifestation of the positive effects of the processes of globalization that we talk about so much on this programme and in this conversation we explore how this happened, how Dublin is responding to COVID right now and what the future looks like for Dublin, our globalized capital city.
