OPIC SUMMARY:
In the fast-paced world of supply chain, success hinges not just on processes and technology—but on people. In this interactive and energizing virtual session, “Stronger Links: Building a Resilient, Collaborative Supply Chain Team,” speaker Olivia Atkin explores how cultivating trust, communication, accountability, and purpose within cross-functional teams leads to higher performance and greater agility. Attendees will engage in real-time polls, breakout room scenarios, and mindset exercises designed to highlight where collaboration tends to break down—and how to fix it. This is not just a presentation; it’s a call to reframe how we see our roles within the flow of the supply chain.
Participants will walk away with actionable strategies to immediately boost team collaboration, reduce friction during handoffs, and strengthen team morale. From quick wins like “Coffee & Cases” to tools like the “Hot Handoff Checklist,” this session is built to provide high-impact takeaways with low lift. Whether you're a leader or an individual contributor, you'll leave with a renewed understanding that in supply chain, you are the strongest link—and together, we build like one team.
