As geopolitical grounds shift beneath our feet, the supply chain function is being tested by the unprecedented challenges of the Covid pandemic and the new conflict that we face. The very nature of supply chain is being redefined as we speak.

As the world’s leading supply chain event, Transform Fest offers unique and actionable insights from leading practitioners and thought leaders to help you navigate the current unpredictable landscape.

In this session, we will discuss how much further supply chains have to develop in order to truly thrive in these unprecedented circumstances and whether leaders have the capacity to transform whilst operating in fire-fighting mode.

With the lack of visibility both within and outside of the supply chain network, every supply chain executive is thinking of transforming its supply chain. Maria talks with the CPO of Navistar about how they navigated these challenges during Covid and got ahead of their peers by innovating on many fronts. Maria explores how Navistar combined the innovation in people, process, and technology by using Digital Twin enabled Supply Chain Control Towers.

In this session, Maria Villablanca and Bob Ferrari evaluate the current supply chain context and do their best to offer predictions around the trends and challenges that will shape supply chains in the months and years to come. We explore the capabilities leaders should prioritise developing, what the war in Ukraine means for long-term supply chain strategy, and how leaders can plan or strategize with any certainty whilst the world around them is in flux.

In this session, we welcome esteemed academic and thought leader, Yossi Sheffi, where he will share his views around the complexity of balancing long-term objectives with today's business realities. Yossi will explore the complex interdependent nature of supply chains around the world and how the Russian invasion derails many long-term plans.
