Purchasing and Supply Chain Agility: Thriving Through Disruption

Global supply chain disruptions are an ongoing reality, and they appear to be with us for the foreseeable future. As we’ve seen, disruptions can stem from pandemics, war, climate change, and continued political unrest. And while business continuity plans tend to cover the “known unknown,” the most challenging disruptions certainly can’t be predicted.

And as we’re all realizing after the last few years, agility is the answer—and it’s the one way to prepare your organization for the unpredictable.

The good news is that business leaders now understand the crucial role procurement plays in the overall financial health of their businesses, and we're already seeing tremendous investment across every industry’s value chain to make supply chain logistics more agile.

In this Supply Chain Management Review podcast, Group Editorial Director Michael Levans is joined by Ken Brennan, Head of Category Adoption, Strategic Accounts at Amazon Business to discuss the benefits of bolstering supplier resilience and enabling companies to become more agile and data-driven while ultimately enabling revenue.
