Future proof sustainable supply chain demands faster, integrated Plants of the Future in a BANI world
IN-PERSON EVENT
Dinner Location: The Drake
How can manufacturers upgrade their plants and supply chains for better visibility, sustainability, and growth in the progressively BANI world?
Welcome to this Meet the Boss event in partnership with Birlasoft.
Opportunities surface in the face of dynamic challenges!
That dichotomy presents itself well in today’s complex world where Economic uncertainty, Supply chain disruptions, changing Geopolitical dynamics, Tariff and trade volatility, Climate and sustainability, and Pandemic upheaval are rampant concerns amid growing consumption, better health, and higher aspirations! Manufacturing industry, known for its resilience and adaptability, embraces these trends as opportunities for growth while fending off risks and disruptions.
In a world characterized by increased fragility, heightened anxiety, nonlinear dynamics, and unprecedented complexity referred to as BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible), manufacturers are investing in innovative programs and techniques. In this evolving scenario, traditional tools and frameworks may no longer be sufficient, prompting the industry to explore new strategies for success.
To navigate this BANI World, and compete effectively in the future, manufacturers must reconsider their strategies, adapt their approaches, and develop new coping mechanisms, thereby completely rethinking the possibilities today in pursuit of the Plants-of-the-Future, where some critical ESG and digital developments have elevated the playing field. But what are they exactly and what does this entail? Furthermore, how can manufacturers urgently sustain and grow their businesses while maintaining a healthy bottom line?
Hoping to see you in Chicago!
