Episode 62 - CIPS Yorkshire Branch Event LIVE podcast - Geopolitical Risk and Supply Chain Disturbance
"CIPS Yorkshire Branch Event LIVE podcast - Geopolitical Risk and Supply Chain Disturbance"
For this episode, we're bringing you something a little different as we share a LIVE recording from the CIPS Yorkshire Branch event held in September, where we took 'A Procurement Podcast' on the road to discuss one of the most significant challenges facing procurement professionals today: geopolitical risk and supply chain disruption.
In this live panel discussion, Chris and Fleur are joined by three great guests, and we look to explore how global events continue to shape supply chains, the implications for procurement teams, and the importance of building resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment.
This LIVE episode was a fantastic opportunity to engage directly with procurement professionals from across the region and hear a range of perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the profession.
We would like to thank the CIPS Yorkshire Branch for hosting the event and to everyone who joined us on the day. We hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we enjoyed being part of it.
