Season 2 - Series Trailer 

Companies have had to face disruption in many forms over the past few years – operational, environmental, technological, and social. Disruptions have not only become more frequent, they’ve also taken on greater severity. Given this backdrop, it makes sense that 84% of CxOs identify resilience as a priority for their organizations per a Deloitte report on Organizational Resilience. Moving from reactive resilience to proactive resilience across business functions is going to be key.  

 

Host Chip Kleinheksel, CTO of Deloitte’s Global SAP Alliance, is joined by Darcy MacClaren, Digital Supply Chain CRO at SAP, and Vadhi Narasimhamurti, SAP Supply Chain Lead at Deloitte, to explore what this new normal of constant change means for supply chains.
