Control Towers: Sensing and Responding to Disruptions in Supply Manufacturing Industries

Following the webinar ‘The Importance of Modern Day Control Towers to Sense & Respond to E2E Disruptions’ we are hosting an interactive roundtable discussion on Control Towers.

The past two years have exposed the vulnerabilities of multi-echelon, complex global supply chains as volatility have skyrocketed. On the supply side COVID19, Winter storm Uri, Hurricane Ida, and the Suez Canal blockage are notable examples of disruptions that significantly impacted the entire value chain. Conversely, demand has been increasingly volatile with little warning as buying behavior and product preferences evolved in response to the disruption. When coupled with significant divergence in recovery rates across different industries (e.g., airlines vs. consumer electronics), there has been minimal guidance for supply chain leaders to proactively manage the supply/demand dynamics impacting these global, interconnected supply chains. Until now. 

The introduction of next-generation supply chain planning that includes the ability to sense/predict disruptions and turn that data into knowledge to drive real-time, efficient decision-making is critical. 

In this roundtable, we will explore the lessons learned and critical capabilities required for organizations to react and respond to these events through modern-day Control Towers and answer questions like:

• How do I prepare my organization for a next-generation supply chain planning platform?
• What key functionality will be improved with the adoption of scenario planning?
• Who will be included in a digital transformation project and how do I create alignment?

The roundtable will take place on 16th of March at 5pm CET and will be led by Vijay Mohan, VP Life Sciences at o9 Solution.

We keep the agenda simple:

1. Introductions
2. Setting the scene
3. Group discussion
4. Networking

Why should I register?

If you’re missing the collaboration and conversational elements from a webinar, then a peer session might be a great option for you. Be ready to deep-dive into different topics related to digital transformation and have a high-quality discussion with your peers. We host both industry-specific and cross-industry roundtables so there’s always a topic to interest you.

Who is it for?

Everyone with a passion for planning and digital transformation

Following the webinar, The Importance of Modern Day Control Towers to Sense & Respond to E2E Disruptions, we held a roundtable discussion moderated by o9’s Life Sciences Lead Vijay Mohan to continue the conversation about next-generation control towers. Roundtable participants discussed:

• Ways organizations can prepare to implement a next-generation supply chain planning platform
  

• The key functionalities that can be improved through scenario planning
  

• How to create alignment among stakeholders in a digital transformation project

Listen to Vijay explain the important role control towers can play in sensing and responding to industry disruption from a life sciences perspective.
