2022 Stronger - PH356 - Creating New Roles and Tools for Tomorrow’s Supply Chain - On Demand

The talent and skills of the legacy supply chain team are no longer sufficient to manage our complex health care supply chain. The supply chain of the future requires new skills and competencies to ensure success. Do you find yourself running fire drills every day, yet not able to get ahead?

In this session we will share our journey and solutions.
