Responding to supply chain shocks from trade disputes, oil prices and the pandemic

This episode examines a rare combination of pressures hitting supply chains at the same time: trade disputes, a sharp fall in oil prices and the spread of the coronavirus. It asks how organisations should react while the disruption is still unfolding.

The discussion draws on the experience of an international supply chain consultant who works with clients in many countries. He gives his view on what the pandemic means for global flows of goods and offers advice to organisations trying to keep operating through the turbulence. The conversation is general in scope and recorded in the middle of the crisis.
