This is a virtual technical collaboration with experts across the DOE national laboratory complex (Argonne, Oak Ridge, Sandia, PNNL, Lawrence Berkeley, Idaho and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)) to reflect on supply chain experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and exploring how they are reshaping our approaches and priorities for resilient, sustainable and secure supply chains. The outcome of the discussions will be to identify key research areas, providing insight into priorities, challenges and chokepoints reveale

In this episode, we host Yossi Sheffi, MIT Professor and Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL), to discuss his latest book: "The New (Ab)Normal." Defined as a must-read for Supply Chain Executives, we explore where the desire for writing this book came from and the advice that leaders can gain from it. What does the future of supply chain look like, and what are the significant trends that will characterize a now irreversibly-changed reality?

Much has been written about Covid-19 victims, how scientists raced to understand and treat the disease, and how governments did (or did not) protect their citizens. Less has been written about the pandemic’s impact on the global economy and how companies coped as the competitive environment was upended. In this briefing, MIT CTL Director Prof. Yossi Sheffi will share his research having studied how businesses grappled with the chaos of the pandemic.  He also explores what enterprises are likely to do to survive and thrive after the pandemic subsides.

Civilization depends on supply chains to convert the planet’s bounty into the products we need and to deliver those products to 7.8 billion human beings at a price they can afford. COVID-19 has upended supply chains around the world and has cast into doubt the future of the operations landscape. This is a presentation and conversation with MIT professor Yossi Sheffi. 

Join us at Supply Chain Webinars as we welcome Dr. Yossi Sheffi to deliver a webinar focusing on his new book 'The New (Ab)Normal; Reshaping Business and Supply Chain Strategy Beyond Covid 19'. Dr. Yossi is Elisha Gray II Professor of Engineering Systems and Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL). He is an expert in supply chain management and is the author of five award-winning books.

Private talk on Professor Yossi Sheffi's findings from The New (Ab)Normal presented to ISM, CSCMP/NERT, and APICS.

Join us in a conversation with the MIT CTL Director, Professor Yossi Sheffi to learn key insights from his latest book!

In this discussion, we will hear key insights from his latest book on how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted business, supply chains, and society. He will also discuss the critical role supply chains play in helping people, governments, and companies to manage the crisis.

Yossi Sheffi, Elisha Gray II Professor of Engineering Systems & Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, discusses his new book. Some of the lessons and expertise gained from years of studying supply-chain risk could apply to the situation in which companies find themselves today, but other solutions must be crafted to meet the specific and extraordinary aspects of the current global pandemic.
