Introduction
The world is a volatile and complex place, challenging the way we think and do business. Much of today’s commentary is about understanding risk probability – when, how and how frequently due to climate change, globalisation, macroeconomic change and geopolitical change. As the world’s business seems to be shifting from North Atlantic to Eastern economies, what we once knew about risk is now radically different.

So how do you design supply chains to accommodate this new landscape? Should it be with a more entrepreneurial mind-set, one which adopts risk and reward equally and recognises that risk can bring creativity and innovation and should be a strategic consideration for the whole business? Embracing change and diagnosing risk can bring competitive advantage as well as mitigating damage to your supply chain.

We invite you to the CIPS Pan African conference where local and international speakers will unravel the issues facing modern supply chains and how we can strategise. Not only to improve our own businesses, but how strong and integrated supply chains can contribute to the development of the African region as a whole.
