Managing Risk in a Hyper-Connected World
Managing risk has always been an important part of supply chain management. But the increasing complexity and hyper-connectedness of today's global business environment is taking the challenge to a whole new level. In a world where a problem in one isolated region can bring an entire global supply chain to its knees, a business-as-usual approach to supply chain risk simply isn't good enough.
Join the CSCMP San Diego/Baja Roundtable for a networking event and panel discussion on how to manage global risks to your supply chain.
When: November 8th, 2017
Time: 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
