• 12 Steps to a Resilient Enterprise

  Tuesday, February 9, 2021 12:00 PM Eastern Time

  One disruption inevitably gives way to another. Can your business thrive versus simply survive when the next one occurs?
  In the first of our four-part series, Mac McGary, executive vice president at Logility, lays out the first three phases of a 12-step roadmap for building a resilient enterprise that can respond and pivot at the pace of disruption as well as seize opportunities presented by shifting market forces.

  
  In this session you will be challenged to:

  1. Assess your performance over the last 12 months and consider missed opportunities, risks, and the impact disruption has had on customer relationships.
  2. Understand the significance of the assessment, and secure executive buy-in to prioritize action.
  3. Create a near-term vision for the next 18 to 24 months that acknowledges current priorities but relentlessly pursues business improvement.
