Global Supply Chain Disruption
It’s nearly impossible to scan a news site or paper and not see a story focusing on some aspect of the global supply chain crisis. From ships stuck in ports to understaffed warehouses and empty grocery store shelves, the disruptions to our supply chains as a result of the COVID pandemic are hard to miss. Consumers have certainly been feeling the effects of widespread disruption and business leaders themselves are no different – a statistic from Bank of America counted a 412% increase in mentions of supply chain issues by chief executives over the previous year. Supply chain disruption has seemingly become such a constant that The Federal Reserve Bank of New York introduced a new measure for global supply chain disruptions in January 2022 – the Global Supply Chain Pressure Index. In this episode of Taking Stock, I’m thrilled to be joined by three Clarkston consultants – Aley Saleh, Scott Shaw, and Evan Shirley. They each bring a unique perspective on the situation having assisted clients with some of these very challenges over the past two years.
