Event Description

The pandemic exposed critical supply chain vulnerabilities across the country. These vulnerabilities are informing new resilience strategies as retailers shift from 'just-in-time' to 'just-in-case' value chains.

Join omnichannel expert Chris Walton and supply chain thought leaders from McKinsey, Tractor Supply Company, Shipt and Nordstrom for this retail executive panel. Discover how to:

  • Calibrate to risk exposure in a world where profound disruptions will be more frequent, more severe and longer-lasting
  • Leverage advances in technology to accelerate response times and ever-changing production economics
  • Build supply chain agility by monitoring risk, implementing mitigation strategies and establishing business continuity plans
  • Emerge from the pandemic stronger with a more resilient supply chain that is better prepared to weather any storm
