What happens when a single software glitch sends shockwaves through global supply chains? Join me, Tony Hines, on the Chain Reaction Podcast as we dissect the chaos stemming from a faulty CrowdStrike update that paralyzed computer systems worldwide. Discover how the tech industry leapt into action to mitigate this unprecedented disruption, and the significant financial repercussions faced by CrowdStrike. We'll also analyze Russia's recent import tariff hikes on consumer goods from sanctioning countries, uncovering the far-reaching effects on Russian consumers and foreign suppliers. Moreover, we'll explore the tense dynamics between China and Canada and their ongoing efforts to restore a strategic partnership.
On this episode, we navigate the turbulent waters of current global supply chain challenges. We'll cover everything from political unrest and surging fuel prices to the complexities of managing unpredictable consumer demand and heightened expectations. Dive into the post-pandemic landscape with its declining service levels, labor shortages, and the growing trend of unionization, and learn why fair workforce management has never been more crucial. We'll tackle pressing cybersecurity threats, intricate regulatory hurdles, and the importance of effective inventory strategies and customer experience. Tune in for an insightful discussion that underscores the necessity of building resilient and fair supply chains.
