Insights to Survive the Yin Yang of Globalization and Deglobalization

Essential Lessons for You and Your Company's Future

In "Navigating the Globalization and Deglobalization Maze: Critical Insights Your Company Needs to Survive,” supply chain expert Jim Tompkins will guide you through the trade winds of the future. 

  1. Increasing trade wars, shooting wars, tariffs, border controls and changing politics are forcing companies to deglobalize away from China and Russia.
  2. Deglobalization dooms single-source supply chains that aimed only for the lowest cost.
  3. Optionality – multiple alternate production, logistics and transportation solutions – will define future competitive advantage.
  4. Supply chains with embedded optionality will deliver during inevitable future disruptions.
  5. Single-source supply chains will not deliver, devastating your company.

Status quo is not a winning strategy. Perpetual disruption will sweep away any new normal. You need insights into the future to respond to the wild world of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity.)
