Much has been written about Covid-19 victims, how scientists raced to understand and treat the disease, and how governments did (or did not) protect their citizens. Less has been written about the pandemic’s impact on the global economy and how companies coped as the competitive environment was upended. In this briefing, MIT CTL Director Prof. Yossi Sheffi will share his research having studied how businesses grappled with the chaos of the pandemic.  He also explores what enterprises are likely to do to survive and thrive after the pandemic subsides.

Civilization depends on supply chains to convert the planet’s bounty into the products we need and to deliver those products to 7.8 billion human beings at a price they can afford. COVID-19 has upended supply chains around the world and has cast into doubt the future of the operations landscape. This is a presentation and conversation with MIT professor Yossi Sheffi. 

Join us at Supply Chain Webinars as we welcome Dr. Yossi Sheffi to deliver a webinar focusing on his new book 'The New (Ab)Normal; Reshaping Business and Supply Chain Strategy Beyond Covid 19'.

Join us in a conversation with the MIT CTL Director, Professor Yossi Sheffi to learn key insights from his latest book!

In this discussion, we will hear key insights from his latest book on how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted business, supply chains, and society. He will also discuss the critical role supply chains play in helping people, governments, and companies to manage the crisis.

Yossi Sheffi, Elisha Gray II Professor of Engineering Systems & Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, discusses his new book. Some of the lessons and expertise gained from years of studying supply-chain risk could apply to the situation in which companies find themselves today, but other solutions must be crafted to meet the specific and extraordinary aspects of the current global pandemic.

To survive and compete in a post-covid world, Supply Chain leaders must radically transform their business models, technologies and processes. Transform 2020 is the only destination for Supply Chain leaders to cut through the "hype" and get real actionable insights, connections and collaboration to propel their transformation strategies into action.
