Overview: Leadership in a time of crisis
Guest panellists include Volkswagen Group of America’s Anu Goel and Visteon’s Antonio Marcelo.
In this special Supply Chain Update, we talk to logistics and supply chain leaders about key decisions and strategies that they have approached in managing the coronavirus crisis, from acting to protect staff, suppliers and customers, to leading teams to work under difficult and uncertain circumstances. This show will provide not only operational and planning insight, but also strategic input on how to make key supply chain decisions in a crisis.
The coronavirus pandemic has placed extraordinary demands on leaders and operators across the business, including managing the risk to employees, suppliers and customers, overcoming tremendous disruption to finances and operations, and quickly implementing new protocols and regulations. At the same time, supply chain leaders have needed to consider the practical needs of employees and suppliers, as well as the financial and emotional distress.
However, despite the scale of the crisis and its ongoing unpredictability, many supply chain and logistics organisations have been able to adapt, turning to more digital tools, as well as working in cross-functional teams and in sync with suppliers and stakeholders in more flexible, agile and collaborative ways. In the best organisation, supply chains are set to emerge more resilient and joined up as the automotive industry moves into the next stages of recovery.
Gain valuable insights on:
- Strategies for cross-functional, strategic and tactical supply chain planning
- Choosing and implementing effective digital tools for supply chain management
- Making decisions based on supply chain and logistics data
- Strategies for improving supplier and provider relationships
- Empowering supply chain teams to implement complex new solutions
- Identifying ROI opportunities in a time of tight budgets
- Inspiring supply chain teams
