In today's tightly connected global economy, traditional management practices that rely on “steady‐state” conditions are challenged by chaotic external pressures and turbulent change. The most recent global pandemic continues to remind us of the need for business leaders to manage change in complex supply chains. Managing the risk of an uncertain future is a challenge that requires resilience—the ability to survive, adapt, and grow in the face of turbulent change.  Join Dr. Timothy Pettit as he shares the Supply Chain Resilience Assessment and Management Tool (SCRAM™).
