When it comes to global supply chains, resilience is the buzzword of 2021. But are companies doing more than talking about it?

COVID-19 has forced discussions in the executive suite about the need for shoring up supply chains against any number of disruptions. Yet a lot of companies are still struggling with the challenge of keeping product flowing in a crisis. On this episode, we delve into what it takes to achieve actual supply chain resilience, and why that continues to be a problem for so many organizations. Our guest is Mike Jette, vice president of consulting with GEP. He offers a definition of the word, along with four key qualities that it promotes. And he explains why the resilience discussion needs to extend beyond the supply chain to embrace the entire business. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
