Future-proof your firm’s supply chains with a renewed focus on resilience

In Strong Supply Chains Through Resilient Operations: Five Principles for Leaders to Win in a Volatile World, a team of dedicated, veteran operations strategists delivers a practical and hands-on discussion of how to future-proof your company’s supply chains through a relentless focus on resilience. In the book, you’ll discover how to shift your firm’s emphasis from “low-cost” to “low volatility” as you protect your company against the supply and demand shocks associated with pandemics, wars, labour disputes, and trade conflicts.

You’ll also learn about:

  • Real-world examples of companies realising long-term competitive advantage by implementing the shifts advocated by the authors.
  • Why seeking to build mutually beneficial, long-term relationships with dependable suppliers is preferable to always choosing the cheapest option.
  • How a renewed focus on diversity and new ways of working can create resilient operations teams that pass on value to your customers.

An effective and essential discussion of one of the most prominent challenges facing contemporary companies around the world, Strong Supply Chains Through Resilient Operations is a must-read book for managers, executives, business leaders, entrepreneurs, operations and supply chain professionals, and anyone else with a stake in the smooth operation of their firm.
