Scenario & Contingency Planning

Oliver Wight is running a half-day virtual course to help you get ready to respond to multiple potential futures with competitive advantage.

Overview
As the pandemic recedes, the massive impact it has brought upon the world remains. Now, faced with unprecedented levels of global uncertainty, how do you prepare your organisation for the future, whatever that turns out to be?

What is the workshop about?
This half-day virtual course will show how you can use Scenario and Contingency Action Planning to ensure you are ready to respond to multiple potential futures with competitive advantage.

Scenario and Contingency Action Planning is a powerful methodology that includes:

Identifying the critical uncertainties that have the biggest impact on your business.
Creating the top four future scenarios, including opportunities and challenges.
Developing and documenting contingency action plans to take advantage of these scenarios, with owners, timelines, resources and trigger points.
Defining and documenting your Scenario and Contingency Action Planning process, to keep the scenario and contingency action plans ‘live’ in your business, via weekly and monthly planning processes.

In our experience, few organisations invest the necessary time and effort to ensure sure their contingency action plans are understood and have been rehearsed. So effectively preparing your organisation to execute a contingency action plan that meets the demands of the future will unlock competitive advantage.

Supply Chain Vision In The Decade For Action

The United Nations’ “Decade for Action” calls for accelerating sustainable solutions to all the world’s biggest challenges ranging from poverty and gender to climate change, inequality and closing the finance gap. Our global supply chains are not immune to these challenges and have their own set of sensitivities to global political, economic, geographic and social climates.

In its third year as the largest gathering of supply chain managers in Australia, ASCI2021 will provide clarity around what is expected of supply chain managers and what the priorities are to act and lead a future-proof global supply chain into the new decade.

Five themes will run throughout the conference program across six streams over three days:

People, culture and skills
Sustainability, ethics and social outcomes
Governance, compliance and regulation
Agility, operations and risk management
Trending technology and new supply chain ecosystems

Visit the conference website for the program and pricing.

At ASCI2021, you will hear from:

International and local inspirational keynotes from progressive organisations
Case studies from peers across logistics; operations; procurement; ILS

Experts on infrastructure growth

This is the largest gathering of supply chain managers with opportunities to network and share:

Roundtable discussions
Leadership Masterclasses
Vendor exhibitions and private meeting spaces
