When I was a kid, we were driving home from an out-of-town shopping trip one winter’s evening. I was sleeping on the back seat when suddenly I was thrown to the floor (no seat belt use back then) as the car hit black ice. The next thing I knew my Dad was steering our big Oldsmobile Delta 88 through the ditch and now driving full speed through a farmer’s snowy field. He didn’t slow down and kept the big Olds powering through the snow. We actually drove to the farmer’s yard and then got back on the highway. I learned a lot about momentum and keeping your foot on the gas in tough times from that experience.

This past year has seemed the same as hitting the ditch for many business owners and leaders. Some stopped in the ditch and wondered how to get out. Some stopped in the field and said, “Woe is me, I’m stuck in a field.” And some kept their foot on the gas, drove through the field, and got back on the highway. It’s your choice how you respond.

Well, because the topic of globalization that we regularly discuss on this program is underpinned and made possible by the international supply chains that function day-in-day out to fulfill our material needs including our food, our clothing, our medicines and all the services that we depend on to make our life what it is – the smartphone in your pocket, the cholesterol tablets you take and the bottle of wine on your dinner table.

To do this I am joined by three colleagues of mine From the Society for the advancement of Consulting (SAC), all independent consultants and thought leaders in their own fields for this Supply Chain informal chat or “Tertulia” as I like to call it.
