    Includes Credits

    Available On Demand Beginning Nov. 18, 2025

    Businesses look to their supply chain operations for performance that meets customer expectations at the lowest possible cost. In order to achieve these desired outcomes, we expect our supply chains to be highly productive — meaning they are fully capable, reliable and efficient. These are the essential qualities of supply chain performance. But, what more can we expect from our supply chains? This session illuminates how flexible and agile supply chains can serve as dynamic enablers of growth. Responsive supply chains not only flex to mitigate risks but pivot to opportunities. Further, the supply chain network can serve as a wellspring for product and process innovation. This session will examine how top companies are climbing out of operational ruts and harvesting good ideas by tapping existing and prospective members of the supply chain for market growth.
