In this presentation, we delve into the wisdom of age-old sayings through the lens of supply chain security, guided by the unexpected expertise of my grandfather. We will explore eight popular adages, revealing their hidden relevance to contemporary challenges in supply chain risk management. Each saying serves as a springboard into broader discussions on supply chain security principles, such as due diligence, transparency, the value of provenance, and the significance of maintaining quality and integrity throughout the supply chain. These personal tales not only illustrate the practical applications of each saying in the supply chain context but also celebrate the wisdom that can be found in the most unexpected places.
Attendees will leave with a unique perspective on supply chain security, equipped with practical insights and inspired by the timeless wisdom that transcends generations. This presentation provides a glimpse into the topics of SEC547, Defending Product Supply Chains, and connects the dots between traditional wisdom and modern-day supply chain security challenges, all through the memorable stories of a lovable grandpa who was, perhaps surprisingly, a supply chain security expert.
