West Midlands Region - Forthcoming Events

When: 24 August 2023, 17:00 (for 18:00) - 20:00
Where: Keele Business School, Keele University, Keele, Staffordshire, ST5 5BG

Speaker: Gary Curzon, Business Process Improvement Manager, Mettler Toledo Safeline Ltd

We now live in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world.

Faced with unforeseen disruption following a series of remarkable events we all worked tirelessly to limit the damage to your order books, customer service levels and to prevent costs from spiralling out of control. 

Although we all became experts at firefighting, showing agility, flexibility, inventiveness and adaptability to find a short-term solution to whatever new challenge we were presented with. 
However, firefighting is an inefficient, time-consuming distraction. 

In addition, a number of related topics under the heading of ESG (environmental social governance) are coming to the fore that we must seek to address. Topics around diversity and inclusion, sustainability, digitalisation, cybersecurity, talent attraction and retention all need to be considered when assessing the robustness of your supply chain.

Therefore, the question is how do you build a supply chain that is resilient enough to withstand the next significant disruption whilst ensuring you drive forward with the ESG agenda?

Please note the delegate list will be vetted by the organiser.
