Global Matters: Are Your Scenario Plans Up To Date?

The Business Trendsetter Podcast

Global trade has become the norm. Ever since Nixon went to China we've been pushing supply chains global for lower cost. Global supply chains are so prolific we don't even think about them any more.

And a whole lot more. And explain not only why you need to update your scenario plans, but how ---- and pressurize listeners to know they MUST do scenario planning if they hope to survive.
