The supply chain continues to evolve thanks to technological innovation and in response to ongoing disruptions. Fortunately, tried-and-true methods for supply chain design continue to generate benefits for organizations, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t more to learn to build the supply chains of tomorrow.
Jim Tompkins, the founder of Tompkins Ventures, a consulting firm that helps executive teams address the big problems facing their organizations today. He was the founder and chairman of Tompkins International, leading the consultancy for over 40 years.

Attendees will learn:
