“The Academy”
- Q1 2024
Dear Participant,
Today’s supply chains face unprecedented challenges, including global disruptions, demand volatility, and shortages exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and natural disasters. Rising customer expectations, technological advancements, sustainability pressures, and labor shortages further compound these issues. Adapting to these complexities requires agile strategies, resilient networks, and innovative solutions for sustainable operations.
Entropy within companies manifests as disorder, silos, and divergent goals, creating divisions that challenge leadership cohesion. Struggles to unify arise due to varying agendas, lack of communication, and differing priorities, hindering cohesive organizational alignment and synergy.
Furthermore, leaders of these companies struggle to find time for continuing education, networking, idea sharing, or collaboration.
