Supply Chain Webinars

Operational expectations for supply chains continue to rise, where optimal efficiency, swift speed, rigorous cost control and an elevated customer experience have become table stakes.

This seminar will focus on the current fluctuations in the current currency markets, especially between Mexico and the United States and Latin American countries, as well as Europe and Asia. Recently, disparities in changes and fluctuations have affected both manufacturers and importers, as well as global remittances, tourism, and standard trade. While many issues are unavoidable, there are situations that can be mitigated to the beneficial satisfaction of both parties, so long as contracts are amended within reason and issued according to international standards. This seminar dives into the deeper side of contractual agreements and the understanding of how currency fluctuations can become an unrecognized variable in the course of doing business. The course will focus on both the reasons for fluctuations and how you can mitigate and provide trade options so that the original contracts and agreements remain unaffected.Speakers:Jonathan Hans Pappie, CEO, VX Global Inc.Lady-An Cuerdo, Trade Commissioner, International Trade Council

According to a Gartner survey, 75% of supply chain leaders believe that with labor shortages, low employee engagement, and retention challenges, voluntary turnover is here to stay and will likely increase over the next five or more years. The traditional response of the blind pursuit of employee retention has not produced optimal talent results. This raises the question: What if embracing employee turnover has its benefits? Gartner’s most recent research finds that CSCOs seeking to thrive in this environment must adopt three talent shifts to translate turnover into a competitive advantage. Join our expert in this complimentary supply chain webinar as they explore these three shifts and real-world examples of organizations that bring these practices to life.
