  Executive Roundtable

  Registered Practitioners & Associates across all four streams are invited to attend a roundtable discussion on supply chain resiliency. According to the APICS Dictionary, resiliency in the supply chain is defined as:

  The ability to return to a position of equilibrium after experiencing an event that causes operational results to deviate from expectations. Resiliency is increased by strategically increasing the number of response options and/or decreasing the time to execute those options. Resiliency is improved by risk monitoring and control. 

  Registrants outside NSW will be able to live stream and add inputs to the discussions; including polling for opinions and points of view. 

  Click here to register to the live stream registration

  There will also be a tour of the Schneider Electric new site (pictured below). Lunch will be provided. Places strictly limited. Register via the website to secure your place.

  This event is awarded two continued professional development points. It is a free event that is exclusive to Registered Practitioners & Associates only.  The event will replace the June quarterly executive roundtables in each stream.

  
  

  We look forward to seeing you there.
