Guest chair: Rinske Geerlings – 2019 OSPA Finalist, Founder and Principal Consultant at Business as Usual

One of the features of modern supply chains is organisations working together as supply chain partners. As a consequence they become dependent on each other. Disruptions then can have far reaching implications, not least for business continuity. When this happens organisations hurriedly seek new partners sometimes without the time for due diligence. Then there is the tricky issue of inter connected systems, great when things are going well but when they go wrong? Then there is the business consideration of choosing to work with a single supplier to get a better price and the dangers of being dependent if that supplier fails. These are just some of the issues that can occur, in this webinar we will discuss:

- How do we create resilient hubs to cope with disruptions?
- What are the cyber implications when supply chains break down?
- What are the trade-offs between good business and good security in efficient supply chains?
