For businesses today, merely surviving the pandemic and economic downturn is tough enough — but not enough.

Getting through this latest crisis is more than a matter of staying afloat, critical though that objective might be. Companies need to be taking an entirely fresh look at their business planning and execution strategies, with a particular emphasis on supply-chain transformation. On this episode, we assess the current state of affairs and consider steps forward with the help of Bob Hirschey, President of Oliver Wight Americas, Inc. He describes an environment of extreme uncertainty, the disruptions that it’s causing, and the impact it’s likely to have on how business is conducted in the future. And we learn why some companies are having an easier time than others of navigating the perils of the pandemic. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.

Show notes:

Oliver Wight white papers and webinars on Scenario Planning and Assumption Management.
