Chapter Meeting
ISM-Greater Grand Rapids: Making the Call: How Sup
When a plan crosses an executive’s desk, what are they actually looking for? Which tools do they rely on, and how long does a major decision take from start to finish?
That question came from a University student, and it’s the idea behind this ISM-GGR event.
Our panelists will each draw on a real decision from their careers and share:
· What prompted the decision and what they wanted to see before moving forward?
· The tools and analysis they relied on?
· How long the process took, and where it stalled?
· What earned supply chain a seat at the table?
Students will leave with a clearer picture of how decisions get made, and professional members will get a fresh perspective from the top. Bring your questions for the live Q&A.
