Top Technology Supply Chain Trends and Headwinds
Top Technology Supply Chain Trends and Headwinds
Disruption is no longer occasional, it’s constant. What separates effective supply chain leaders today is how they interpret risk and act on it.
Join Ray Nair, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Operations at CDW, for a practical, experience-driven look at the forces reshaping technology supply chains, and what it takes to lead through them.
Drawing on real-world examples from global operations, this session explores how leaders are adapting decision-making models to operate in an environment defined by continuous uncertainty.
What You’ll Learn:
- How geopolitical risk, AI-driven demand, and structural constraints are reshaping supply chains
- Where these forces show up: cost volatility, lead time variability, service performance, and regulatory complexity
- How leading organizations translate risk signals into actionable decisions
- Practical approaches to building resilience through sourcing, network design, and execution
- The skills and mindsets needed to lead in modern, technology-driven supply chains
Ideal for students and professionals in supply chain, operations, logistics, or technology—as well as anyone looking to better understand how today’s global forces are shaping business decisions.
