Resiliency, sustainability, and visibility – three words that sum up the current focus of supply chain, we’d say, and Accenture’s Matias Pollmann-Larsen agrees.  This week, he joins us to discuss the incredible findings of their recent United Nations Global Company CEO Study, from how CEOs are reimagining their supply chains to re-evaluating their global supply chain structures.  Who knows, you may discover a thing or two.
