Whitlock ran through some survey results from recent Gartner surveys, including that 92% of businesses were impacted by COVID, weather, fuel costs, supply or labor shortages, or some other disruption.
In the surveys, 70% of the companies express visibility as the number one area in terms of development.
Ultimately, to overcome the challenges and achieve success, Whitlock said companies should:
-
Act early and quickly
-
Take the long view of situations
-
Change strategies
-
Build a team that starts with leadership
-
Treat suppliers like they are part of the team
