Webinars on supply chain risk

WTG WebinarI’ve never given much though to webinars as a means of communication, as  blogging is my force, although I do have a lecture on supply chain risk, but not in webinar style. Perhaps it’s time to reconsider. I just recently became aware of  WTG Webinar, a website that caters to the business community and serves webinars by highly acclaimed speakers on management and supply chain issues, thus bringing the world of thought leadership and insider industry knowledge directly to your desktop.

Can Supply Chain Management learn from Emergency Management?

Yes. No doubt about it. Reduction, Readiness, Response and Recovery are four key elements in the New Zealand Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002. But how can this be related to supply chain management? Well, from time to time any supply chain will face the possibility of being disrupted, severed, delayed or severely impacted.
