As we see which companies emerge stronger from COVID, it is becoming apparent that those with a resilient supply chain and strong supply chain partnerships thrive while the rest are coming out in a weakened state. Of course, the situation has not stayed the same – those constantly changing to stay on top of customer needs and extending those changes throughout the end-to-end supply chain while leveraging technology are far more successful. 

What Should We Consider and/or What Impacts Could Arise?

Tune in to our expert panels to find out about what the most successful executives are doing across the globe to create a resilient supply chain and how that relates to their strategic partnerships. Several of the partnerships we’ll discuss include:

  • Customer partnerships and collaborative programs
  • Of course, supplier partnerships are the talk of the town these days. Executives have certainly realized how the low cost, transactional nature dictated by a cost-only viewpoint doesn’t work.
  • Logistics partnerships can provide far more value than is realized.
  • As e-commerce increases, new partnerships are forming.
  • How about trusted advisors, software and technology partners etc.? Definitely worth noting.

Re-think your partnerships. Which should be transactional and which should be strategic?
