Theme interview on Theme #1 of the "COVID-19 Impact on Global Supply Chains" panel, facilitated by Dan Seewald, The Deliberate Innovator, sponsored by Currnt
Here is a high level summary of the findings:
Most companies are experiencing some degree of supply chain disruption; however, the degree and complexity varies by industry, geography and level of leadership and preparation.
- Policy and regulation decisions are directly effecting supply chain resiliency. Where there is thoughtful and sensible policy and practices, there are signs of a stronger supply.
- Consumer purchasing behaviors are "predictably irrational"; however, manufacturers were not always anticipating or prepared for these consumer behaviors.
- Supply chain networks which are highly interdependent, global and overly “lean” have faced more complex issues and struggled.
- The "supply chain pandemic" may have a 'half-life' that surpasses the infectious disease pandemic itself. Downstream suppliers will continue to struggle to get back to 'business as usual'.
