MIT Global SCALE Network webinar - Supply chains in a fractured world: Strategy beyond globalization

Geopolitics is rapidly becoming a first-order constraint on global supply chain strategies. Trade tensions, industrial policies, and shifting alliances are forcing companies to reassess long-standing assumptions about global integration.

This session will focus on three critical questions:

• How are geopolitical risks reshaping network design and sourcing strategies?
• What does “de-risking” mean across the value chains in operational and financial terms, including tariff effects?
• Which capabilities and competencies distinguish leader organizations in navigating volatility?

We will share a structured perspective on the transition from efficiency-driven to resilience-oriented supply chains, along with actionable levers organizations can deploy to mitigate risk while preserving competitiveness and growing competitive advantage under uncertainty.
