ELN Highlights: (AB)Normal: Reshaping Business & Supply Chain Strategy Beyond Covid-19

DR. YOSSI SHEFFI Civilization depends on supply chains to convert the planet’s bounty into products and deliver those products affordably to 7.8 billion human beings; of course, Covid-19 had an immense impact on businesses, supply chains, and consumer society. In this discussion, Yossi Sheffi reveals the critical role supply chains play in helping people, governments, and companies to manage that bounty. His latest book draws on executive interviews, pandemic media coverage, historical analyses and themes from his other books—The Resilient Enterprise (2005) and The Power of Resilience (2015)—to suggest how companies become more resilient when facing uncertainty. Sheffi is the Elisha Gray II professor of Engineering Systems at MIT, where he serves as Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL). He is an expert in systems optimization, risk analysis and supply chain management, which are the subjects he researches and teaches at MIT, both at the MIT School of Engineering and at the Sloan School of Management.
