Leading Through a Crisis: Supply Chain
Disruption | Covid-19 Pandemic
Webinar | Friday, June 12 | 12 Noon CDT
The E&C industry is dependent on a complex, global supply chain that is being disrupted to an unprecedented level. It has been a herculean challenge that has tested the supply chain in many different ways. What once worked flawlessly is now imperiled at every link in the chain. Where low cost was once a predominant decision criteria, relationships have now emerged as being just as important. How we approach contracting, how we approach sourcing – it’s all changing as a result of the pandemic. Hear what industry procurement leaders have to say about how their world is changing – from mega projects down to industrial services. Join us as we discuss:
