Disrupting the Disruption

Global supply chains were heavily impacted in 2021. A perfect storm of weather events, route blockages, crew displacements, trade lane imbalances, operational shutdowns, and stimulus-induced demand.

Please join Rhyan Stephens from McGrathNicol Advisory, and industry professionals Simon Borg (Group CEO and Founder) of Navia and Christine Miller (Head of Supply Chain Advisory – Pacific) for CBRE Asia Pacific, as they explore the main influences on the global supply chain misalignment.

The expert panel moderated by Matthew Caddy of McGrathNicol will discuss the operational and strategic challenges facing Executives and Boards, how corporates are responding and who is proactively taking advantage of these market dynamics. They will cover current market observations and practical considerations for 2022.

Welcome to the land of supply chain threats (and opportunities).
