“Disruption has always been a part of managing the supply chain, but the velocity and scale of disruption that organizations have had to contest within 2020 has been unprecedented. Supply chains of almost every company in the world have been impacted, with some halting operations and others struggling to meet unexpected surges in demand,” said Patrick Maley, Chief Marketing Officer at BluJay Solutions. “The pandemic has made it very clear how imperative supply chain resilience is to success and survival. We hope the results of this research will provide useful insights and spark important conversations between all stakeholders to create smarter, better, and more resilient supply chains moving forward.”
