Great Powers conflict, the advent of 5G, and the COVID-19 pandemic have brought into stark relief the vital roles supply chain operations and risk management play in critical government functions, including public health, innovation, and national defense. We’ll discuss:
- The importance of visibility into multi-tiered, geographically disaggregated supplier networks.
- The impact legislation and regulation, such as the National Defense Authorization Act, has on supply chain management.
- How effective supply chain risk management is both a public health imperative and a key to managing geo-political risk.
