• Understanding our ecosystem, as each country, individual and sector of activity has gone through the crisis in a different way. State action, as illustrated by the numerous recovery plans aimed at making our societies more resilient, will be used as one of the levers to build a more resilient supply chain.
• The construction of a sustainable supply chain, which is both a consumer need and a response to the challenges brought about by the climate emergency. The evolution of consumption patterns towards zero packaging will impact on supply chain organisations that create value for customers
• The issue of performance from a data-driven supply chain perspective. The Supply Chain has been collecting data for years through demand, in and out flow management. Using this data to meet the challenges of tomorrow offers huge potential to better manage complexity and uncertainty and to help managers make decisions.
• The company's human capital: The shortage of manpower and the lack of attractiveness, the necessary evolution of skills considering increasingly sophisticated technologies, the ageing workforce and the necessary feminisation of the supply chain - are all challenges that must be met.
• The supply chain is central to this necessary change management, so how can we better anticipate it to meet the challenges?
