We are fortunate to have Dr. James A. Tompkins, one of the world’s leading supply chain thought leaders, to address the impacts of VUCA on today’s supply chains and commerce.

The lifting of the Iron Curtain was minuscule when compared to the impacts of VUCA on how business works and how people live.”
