Co Sourcing Partners Impact Outcomes and Profitability

Today's complex and ever-shifting environment, though, requires a more nuanced and flexible approach that can deliver both agility and deep expertise at different levels, depending on the situation: Co-Sourcing.

Diversity in Supply Chain – (DEI) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Supply Chains
Managing diversity in your company’s supply chain workforce can be challenging. However, the overall benefits of a diverse workforce improve your company’s worth.

Will Tech Layoffs Benefit Supply Chains?
Large scale tech layoffs could lead to a solution to the supply chain talent shortage.

A lot of these job losses were in the technology and software sector. It is estimated that 200,000 tech employees have been laid off in reduction of force measures since the beginning of 2022.
