This episode follows an earlier conversation about supply chain planning and digs into why planning matters so much right now. The focus is global volatility, both geopolitical and climate-related, and how the two influence one another.
The discussion moves between big-picture, company-level and human perspectives, and considers the pandemic as a kind of climate crisis. It also covers the sharp rise in container prices, swings in energy prices, and the way supply chains are changing in response to these pressures. Together these threads explain why instability in politics, weather and energy has become central to planning decisions.
