Virtual Global Business Insights Series 2021: Logistics – handling cost challenges, delays and frustrations

Of all the challenges that global business leaders face in today’s environment, we know that logistics rank at or near the top of the list. 
 

Skyrocketing freight prices, acute ocean container shortages, port congestion -- plus severe strains on planes, trains and automobiles – is a perfect storm that isn’t abating any time soon.
 

With demand far exceeding supply on every front, traditional approaches to planning, implementing and controlling the flow of logistics have been turned upside down.
 

In this session, hear from peer manufacturers and logistics experts from a diverse range of industries as they discuss their strategies and share perspectives to manage risk in this era of significant uncertainty.
 

Key questions include:

•  - What have been your toughest challenges in the past quarter?
•  - How are you managing those risks?
•  -  What major course corrections have you made over the past year?
•  - What creative things have you tried – and what worked?
•  - If you could press a “do over” button, what would you have done differently?
   

Featuring speakers Christine Lynn, Director, North American Logistics at Rockwell Automation; Craig Grossgart VP Global Ocean, at SEKO Logistics & Jeanne Heilman, Midwest Area Manager, Virginia International Terminals, LLC (Port of Virginia) you are sure to take away ideas and tactics to make your company more resilient and competitive.
