BUILDING A DEFENCE AGAINST GLOBAL PANDEMICS
How to Leverage the Power of Strategic Supply-Chain Management
 
SAVE THE DATE
Tuesday 28 th July, 4 PM BST/11 am EDT/8 am PDT

The CoVid-19 induced scramble to source PPE, vaccines, prescription drugs, and antigen/antibody tests has raised some crucial questions:

  • Where were they?
  • Who was building the supply-chains to develop and deliver these products?
  • Where are they now?
  • What does the future hold?
  • Who is formulating the plan?

This cross-discipline, cross-sector panel will seek the answers that must be found if future pandemics are to be neutralised. The panel will then explore the potential for strategic supply-chain management (SSM) to drive remediation efforts. The session wraps up with dialogue on how key stakeholders should collaborate in planning for the future, followed by Q&A, which is likely to be animated yet insightful!

At the risk of offending fellow grandparents well used to sucking eggs, the broad definition of a strategy is a plan to get you to where you want to end up over the longer term. SSM is a set of disciplines that when applied holistically and in synchronisation, ensure you develop and successfully implement your strategy for the supply chain. In summary, it enables you to deliver fit-for-purpose products and services to end-users, consistently.
