232: When Things Are Tough, Get Back to Basics, with Brian Glick
Today’s episode is a little different to usual. Instead of putting the spotlight onto an industry brand, I’m joined by special guest Brian Glick, founder and CEO at Chain.io and good friend, to talk about a timely topic in supply chain.
We talk all about what to do when times get tough in supply chain, just like they are right now! We discuss the importance of data; the power of collaboration; and why you should be putting more focus on sustainability in your business. Plus, Brian shares his insights on getting back to basics, refocusing on process and remembering that being good at execution is a core competence that can set you apart from the competition.
Reflections on 2021.
Despite disruption, why now is the right time to get back to basics with our businesses.
How we can start to identify the quick wins within our businesses – key areas to simplify and optimize that will make a big difference.
The importance of data and making the most of data partners and tools.
Sustainability in business and supply chain, and why it integrates more easily than you might think.
The power of collaboration and connectivity; plus how, and why, Brian created a collaborative ethos at his business, Chain.io.
The future for supply chain.
Final words of encouragement for how can we all not just survive, but thrive, during and after this period of disruption.
