by MARK DANCER for Mark Dancer on Innovating B2B Resilient, responsive, and regenerative As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to fade, the supply chain will emerge from its crisis stronger than before. Supply chain professionals are working to make it more resilient and able to withstand future shocks, but more change is underway.

By in Human Resources, Self Improvement, Work Tag ,
