Data leaders chart a course from the great lockdown through the great unknown.
A recent report reveals that 24% of manufacturers struggle with data silos, and 19% lack the right technologies to analyze data. Without these capabilities which allow manufacturing-based brands the foresight to pivot, within the current economic situation brought on by COVID-19, organizations run the risk of needing to file for bankruptcy or shut down operations completely.

With decades of global sourcing leadership—from United Technologies to managing $25B in procurement at FedEx—Susan shares insights on the key trends shaping global supply chains and what they mean for the manufacturing outlook.
