SUMMARY:How Supply Chains and Data Science Are Preparing for Disruption
DESCRIPTION:In September 2019\, the Supply Chain & Logistics Society and Data Science & Analytics Society teamed up to discuss where Big Data and Analytics were being applied in supply chain. Much of the esteemed panel discussed disruptions globally. Little did the world realize the most acute\, global disruption would occur only months later with COVID-19. \nSix months after much of the US and world initially shutdown\, supply chains have had to quickly adjust to our “new normal”. Data science and analytics are paving the way to help supply chains adapt—not only to current challenges but in preparation for future disruptions. \nLearn how some of the leading\, global organizations are enabling supply chains with data science to not only survive the current global pandemic but also to thrive in the future.

SUMMARY:"The Myth of Chinese Capitalism"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nDexter Roberts \nModerated by\nDr. John McIntyre\nProfessor of Management & Founding Director of the Georgia Tech CIBER \n“The Myth of Chinese Capitalism: The worker\, the factory and the future of the world” \nAbstract: As discussed in his new book The Myth of Chinese Capitalism\, Dexter Roberts will describe how surging income inequality\, an unfair social welfare system\, and rising social tensions block China’s continued economic rise with implications for companies and countries around the world. He will discuss how China is struggling to leave behind its “Factory to the World” growth model\, and include its hundreds of millions of left-behind migrant workers into a more innovative\, consumption-driven economy and why that means China may not become the superpower the world expects. He will also discuss how COVID-19 has exacerbated the already huge social disparities in China further complicating its ongoing economic transition and putting it at risk of falling into the middle-income trap. He will discuss how global supply chain diversification is affecting China and the implications of a Trump administration turning its back on engagement while a Xi Jinping-led China is determined to pursue a “wolf warrior” assertive approach to the world. \nDexter Roberts is an award-winning writer and speaker on China now serving as a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council and a Fellow at the University of Montana’s Mansfield Center. Previously he was the China bureau chief and Asia News Editor at Bloomberg Businessweek\, based in Beijing for more than two decades. Roberts’ first book\, The Myth of Chinese Capitalism: The Worker\, the Factory\, and the Future of the World\, was published by St. Martin’s Press in March 2020. He also publishes a weekly newsletter called Trade War. \n \nThis event is organized by the China Research Center and co-sponsored by the CIBER at Georgia Tech.

SUMMARY:A Trained Workforce is a Prepared Workforce
DESCRIPTION:In the words of Mike Tyson\, an American boxer heavyweight champion\, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” 2020 is evidence that every business is susceptible to disruption when you least expect it\, whether it stems from product tampering\, supply chain issues\, diversity and inclusion blunders\, biological threats\, protests\, and civil unrest\, or the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the global economy. Regardless of what goes wrong\, organizations need to respond quickly with decisions that value your people and demonstrate accountability. \nData shows over 50% of organizations do not have robust contingency plans in place and lack preparedness efforts to reduce operational and reputational threats. The cost of unpreparedness impacts businesses’ reputation for up to five years\, significantly affects employee morale\, increases the potential for legal implications\, and reduces the leaderships team’s ability to make data-driven decisions. \nThe webinar will provide you with: \n\nA crisis response checklist for employees\nThe three elements to measure preparedness for your business and suppliers\nThe six questions your employees need you to address before\, during\, and after disruption\nA simulation to respond to an unexpected crisis that could affect your operation and employees\n\nMeet the Speaker\nVanessa Vaughn Mathews\nAsfalis Advisors\nChief Resilience Officer \nVanessa is an acclaimed expert with a background in Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
