In the book, you'll discover how to shift your firm's emphasis from "low-cost" to "low volatility" as you protect your company against the supply and demand shocks associated pandemics, wars, labor disputes, and trade conflicts.

You'll also learn about: real-world examples of companies realizing long-term competitive advantage by implementing the shifts advocated by the authors; why seeking to build mutually beneficial, long-term relationships with dependable suppliers is preferable to always choosing the cheapest option; and how a renewed focus on diversity and new ways of working can create resilient operations teams that pass on value to your customers.
