Shape the discussion on Supply Chain Viability and be part of the exclusive Roundtable of European Supply Chain Executives

Together, let us lay the foundation for a long-lasting initiative on Supply Chain Viability

Supply chains are becoming more visible, more tangible and are thus also being viewed more critically by an ever broader audience. Future uncertainties underline the importance of viability of supply chains in strategic considerations. The quality of a supply chain can no longer be considered only from a company internal point of view, i.e. reliability and efficiency, but must also meet the requirements of sustainability, social compatibility and social contribution.

In December 2020, together with HSG-ISCM we initiated the discussion with logistics and supply chain professionals and published the white paper "The Rise of Supply Chain Viability".

In this interactive roundtable discussion, we will look at enabler categories from different perspectives that are key to define a comprehensive purpose to achieve supply chain viability:
  • Supplier and corporate buyer
  • Government, regulatory and standardization
  • NGO and consumer
The workshops led by Prof. Dr. Erik Hofmann, HSG-ISCM, Darko Belic, DHL Automotive, and Dominic Regan, Oracle, will cover these questions:
  • How can supply chains be woven into our daily lives?
  • What challenges will arise from this development?
  • What guidelines could be developed for companies for their supply chains to be accepted by society?
Join this interactive roundtable and become a thought leader on Supply Chain Viability.
