RapidRatings will explore the vital role of supply chain resilience through proactive risk management.
This engaging workshop will delve into the challenges suppliers face due to the decline of their liquidity, cash conversion and working capital. This, combined with the difficulties of tariffs, increases prices and creates significant uncertainty.
You can join leading industry experts to dissect the fundamentals of risk and macro trends while exploring how you can develop processes and strategies to best discover and mitigate supplier risk and enhance supply chain resilience.
Did you know? James will also feature on our Risk & Resilience in Supply Chain panel at PSC LIVE: Chicago.
This panel will spotlight the importance of the concepts of risk and resilience have in the agility, stability and sustainability of modern supply chains.
You can hear from leading executives in the supply chain industry to discover how you can handle the growing complexity of global networks by improving your ability to absorb, anticipate and adapt to disruptions.
