Distinguihsed Lecture Series – Nannette Atuahene

Join us May 22 for the next event in our Distinguished Lecture Series. On Our Watch Global founder Nannette Atuahene will talk about “Building a Future-Ready Supply Chain Industry.”

5-6:30 p.m. GMT / 10-11:30 a.m. PDT and MST

COVID laid bare the vulnerability of the supply chain industry, when the whole world virtually shut down. At the same time, a big disconnection was revealed among researchers, practitioners and policymakers with regard to supply chain issues.

The key to building a future-ready supply chain industry lies in the untapped potential that comes from creating synergy among these groups. That is the topic of the next event in our Distinguished Lecture Series, on Wednesday, May 22.

Nannette Atuahene, a leadership and organizational effectiveness consultant who splits her time between Ghana and the U.S., will deliver the lecture.

“When we are faced with many problems, many opportunities exist to solve them,” says Atuahene. “The question is, how do we set up effective and efficient communication systems between academia, industry and policymakers to bolster innovation, solutions and an upgraded supply chain industry?”

Her May 22 lecture will look at the challenges that currently exist in the supply chain industry, in academia, practice and policymaking. It will address how to overcome those challenges and the opportunities for practitioners, academia and policymakers to work together to move the supply chain industry forward.

Attendees will receive practical tips on how to create, obtain and utilize data and case studies to move your research and businesses forward. You also will learn how to create effective synergies among academia, practitioners and policymakers.
