Supply Chain Academy offers high impact learning e-courses to corporates, using cognitive based theory method. Professor Yossi Sheffi joins the Supply Chain Academy for to talk about his new book, The New (Ab)Normal, and its relevance to the corporate world today, given the challenges of the covid-19 pandemic. 

How the pandemic accelerated supply chain technology trends: Technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, robotics, real-time data analytics and communications platforms that facilitate telecommuting provide visibility into supply chains and also enable contactless, paperless operations.

In part 2, Episode 47, we'll explore doubling down on technology for transformative change. From AI, digital twins, and a deeper dive in human behavior, Dr. Sheffi gives you the steps to risk management and recovery in COVID and beyond when designing for resilience.

Like never before, companies have learned during the pandemic to pivot quickly across multiple dimensions. They ramped up production, changed their processes, and adopted new technologies, at speed unimaginable before the crisis. In only six weeks, contract manufacturer Flex ramped up its ability to produce ventilators while New Balance designed and produced thousands of masks, in a matter of days. Such transformations can afford many successful companies with new competitive advantages.

In a 2-part series, Sheri Hinish (SupplyChainQueen) chats with a thought leader and supply chain advocate, Dr. Yossi Sheffi from MIT who has been teaching, learning, building, authoring many publications, including a new book 'the New (Ab) Normal' in a conversation that pushes boundaries highlighting areas that many in supply chain and technology shy away from discussing...getting real on transformation, innovation, and disruption.

Supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 are twin threats, both to lives and livelihoods. Companies must ensure the safety of workers in their extended supply chain, support the financial viability of their suppliers, work with constrained cargo networks, while building systems to be ready for future supply-chain shocks like this pandemic. In this event we have three top global experts, including Professor Yossi Sheffi who will discuss how this is impacting businesses, global trade, and livelihoods, globally.

Listen to Professor Yossi Sheffi talk about supply chain in the current era and how to adapt in the coming months. Bicara Supply Chain podcast highlights solutions for the most complex challenges facing industry in the 21st Century by interviewing Subject Matter Experts and Mentors.

MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi maps how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted business, supply chains, and society. He exposes the critical role supply chains play in helping people, governments, and companies to manage the crisis. Yossi paints a compelling picture of how the Covid-19 virus is changing many facets of human life and what our post-pandemic world might look like.
