ABOUT THE LECTURE:
Award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman reveals the fascinating inner-workings of our global supply chain and the factors that have led to its constant vulnerability. He takes audiences deep into this elaborate system, showcasing the triumphs and struggles of the human players who operate it, and the industries most vulnerable to its disruption. Goodman looks ahead to the factors that will alter the supply chain in the years ahead, from geopolitical realignments—and especially U.S.-China tensions—to climate change and technological innovation. He weaves a powerful argument for reform needed to make manufacturing and transportation systems more reliable and resilient.
