Supply Chain Risk: Being Prepared…Is it Working?
Managing supplier risk has been top of mind for CPOs and their organizations. During a crisis, the visibility into our supply chain gets put to the test. Supply chain mapping efforts often vary, depending on several factors - industry, geography, size of firm, etc.

Our panelists will share how they achieve visibility into their supply networks, efforts to include 2nd and 3rd tier, supply vulnerabilities and risks that were most prevalent during the pandemic, lessons learned, and how they are adapting their programs for the future. 

Does company size make a difference?

Does industry make a difference?

A New Supply Chain: Creating Agile, Adaptable, and Transparent Supply Networks
During this pandemic, many companies have pivoted their manufacturing capabilities. What is the impact to the supply management organization that needs to be flexible and agile in assessing, sourcing, and onboarding new suppliers?

Multigenerational Talent and a Thriving Transformative Workspace
With a multi-generational workforce, we experience unique communication styles, varying work style preferences, and different professional needs. How are supply management groups designing organizations where all employees can thrive?

CAPS has invited a cross-generational panel to discuss:
     Communication and work style preferences across generations and how to bridge the gap.
     What are some technologies used that help with any communication issues? 
     How does our “return to work” affect our future talent and org design?

A New Era of Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity evolves and shifts at a mind-boggling pace and understanding the latest trends and research is critical in supply chain. In this session, an authority in cybersecurity will debrief us on the state of cybersecurity, issues to be aware of, and what the future holds.
