Webinar: South America’s new vehicle market – forecasts to 2019

Many of the goods imported into the U.S. rely on intricate, finely-tuned, international supply chains. When the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on international supply networks that caused shortages, price increases, and instilled plenty of worry in consumers, it also set in motion more conversation about the emerging future of supply chains. But how did we get here? In this webinar, participants will learn more about the past, present, and future of supply chains and freight systems, including how supply chains have changed over time, evolving types of freight providers, autonomous freight advancements, and public policy changes. The presentation, which is also the TRB 2022 Deen Lecture, will be led by Anne Strauss-Wieder and discussion will be facilitated by Lillian Borrone.

Sustainable procurement is undoubtedly rising as a key driver of supply chain sustainability. Buyers have a strategic positioning as they face suppliers and are positioned quite upstream in the value chain. Collaboration is key with both internal and external stakeholders. But the topic is so broad, time- and effort-consuming, under increasing and accelerating regulation pressure that buyers barely know where to start and how to pitch the business case. In this series of interactive events, you will learn about practical cases from our experts and panelists from various industries and backgrounds and ultimately be armed to initiate or pursue the change of mindset in your purchasing organization.

Digitization is here. And it’s re-defining supply chain. Disruptive technologies like advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are converging, bringing together the physical and digital worlds into new digital supply networks. These networks are taking supply chains from siloed and sequential to dynamic and interconnected. But true digital transformation isn’t just about the technology. Industry experts Tim Gaus, Principal at Deloitte, and Trevor Miles, Thought Leader at Kinaxis, explain how digital supply networks, combined with the right organizational change, can move your supply chain to the next level of growth.

The 3PL (transportation, logistics, warehousing and technology) space is very crowded. The average salesperson is not meeting sales goals and their message can’t cut through the clutter. Furthermore, most shippers treat transportation and logistics services as a commodity. Salespeople continue to use the same old messaging and cold calling methodology, which is less effective every day. This individualized sales improvement program is specifically designed for sales professionals who sell transportation, logistics, warehousing, supply chain, or technology services.
