Decoding Disruption: Reimagining Manufacturing Footprints in a Digitally Enabled Era

Critical Issues Member Forum Call – Resilient Supply Networks and Ecosystems

Abstract

As rising geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic pressures redraw global trade patterns, companies are confronting fundamental questions about where and how they produce. We examine the three forces driving today’s “great trade rearrangement”: geopolitically driven industrial policies, intensified cost and talent dynamics, and digitally enabled supply chain capabilities that are reshaping production footprints. Join us to explore how leaders can move beyond reactive measures and continuously realign their networks for resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable growth.
