In a world where disruptions have become the norm rather than the exception, traditional supply chain resilience is insufficient. No longer can we rely solely on “what-if” scenarios, excess inventory, or generic risk management. When links in the supply chain falter, say through a global pandemic, a vessel lodged in the Suez Canal, simultaneous railway shutdowns, port strikes, or even modern-day piracy, we see just how fragile this global system truly is.
What if there was a way not only to withstand such events but to emerge stronger from them?
This session dives into the concept of “antifragility”—a strategy that doesn’t simply endure disruptions but leverages them as catalysts for growth. Beginning with a high-level look at the intensifying frequency and impact of supply chain disruptions, attendees will learn why traditional resilience is increasingly inadequate as complexity rises.
Attendees will get a practical framework to embed antifragility within their operations, with real-world examples of companies thriving post-disruption to demonstrate tangible examples of this evolution. Attendees will leave understanding not only why antifragility is essential, but also how to turn disruptions into genuine opportunities for growth and transformation.
