Description

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 created an absolute nightmare for Supply Chain
management professionals worldwide. The immediate impacts of high levels of
employee absenteeism and factory closings may be behind us, but the aftershocks of

inventories on others. Additionally social distancing and work from home has resulted in
lower levels of collaboration within and among organizations.

Paul was definitely very knowledgeable, shared much of his experiences and was very personable. He was able to take a topic that could be very dry and made it interesting. The overall thoughts were that both classes were valuable – especially to those with only several years in the industry.
