Tauber Institute envisions "Operations 2030"

The 13th annual Global Operations Conference brought together leaders in industry and academia to envision "Operations 2030: the next evolution of technology, sustainability, supply chain, and customer behavior." Held November 7-8 in the Tauber Colloquium at the Ross School of Business, the conference featured keynote addresses by forward-thinking leaders planning for the decade ahead, plus a series of industry panels comprised of operations professionals representing a wide range of perspectives, moderated by faculty from Ross and Michigan Engineering.
 
"If you have a veteran on your team, those are people who are really good at managing emergencies, they're really good at accepting responsibility, and those are people that really can step up when times get tough.

From the US Navy to Michigan to General Mills, Tauber alumna Teresa Viola (MSCM '17) demonstrates how veterans make their organizations better.
