'Ideas in Practice' Supply Chain Summit 2023

Disruption, Resilience & Recovery

Global supply chains today have become Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear and Incompressible (BANI) thanks to the ongoing polycrisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, Ukraine war, climate change and the cost-of-living crisis. These crises will likely persist for some years, according to the Global Risks Report 2023 by World Economic Forum. While recognising that existing strategies for supply chain risk management are no longer sufficient given the ongoing dynamic and radical changes in complex global supply chains, this supply chain summit aims to address these ongoing risks.

Therefore, the 2023 summit aims to:

• Provide expert opinions about ways to recover global supply chains

• Provide expert advice about the shifting legal agenda important for supply chain resilience

• Share outcomes from emerging research on supply chain resilience

• Learn from different organisations; how they adapt and respond to supply chain disruptions

• Meet supply chain experts and researchers to share ideas and develop collaboration

• Develop opportunities to collaborate with Leeds University Business School

• Provide a forum for knowledge exchange and collaboration.

The summit benefits from renowned supply chain risk expert Dr Omera Khan (Maersk) as keynote speaker, and presentations from legal expert Ian Skinner (Squire Patton Boggs) and supply chain expert Professor Chee Yew Wong (Leeds University Business School), plus experts from different sectors and academic research as panellists.

The ‘Ideas in Practice’ Supply Chain Summit is an annual forum for supply chain professionals and senior academic researchers to exchange knowledge about the latest thinking and developments in supply chain management, hosted by Leeds University Business School’s Centre for Operations and Supply Chain Research since 2017.

Please note that this event is taking place in person only.
