Executive Leadership Keynote: The Global Economy and Long-Term Consequences of the COVID Crisis

$7.6 trillion. This is the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the economic output lost to the pandemic over the next decade in the United States alone. Even as the global economy rebounds, the international financial, political, and social impacts will continue for years to come. What does this mean for healthcare supply chain leaders?

Deeply reliant on international markets, particularly in Asia, healthcare is uniquely vulnerable to uncertainties and disruptions. Understanding the complexities of international relations is key to ensuring continuity in your supply chain. Drawing on her first-hand expertise as a former diplomat and now advisor to US CEOs, Anja Manuel will untangle the long-term international economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and share insights into its impact on your supply chain. 

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the critical importance of IDN supply chain leaders. Just as the pandemic has transformed us as leaders, the supply chains we operate are evolving, too. How do we strategically approach new challenges, enhance current operations, and ensure continuity in the healthcare supply chain going forward? On August 31, we’re heading back to the classroom for the IDN Summit Thought Leadership Panel to answer these questions and more.

Join Brent Petty as he hosts leaders from three of American’s top supply chain management programs, the University of Tennessee’s Dr. Randy Bradley, the University of Arkansas’ Dr. Claudia Rosales, and Arizona State University’s Dr. Eugene Schneller. During this engaging discussion on the issues impacting your IDN supply chain, they will share insight into the healthcare supply chain trends on the horizon, discuss how to overcome tomorrow’s challenges, and answer your questions.
