ISM-New Jersey Antifragile Supply Chains – A Conversation with Author Anna McGovern

Join David Johnson for an engaging 1-hour conversation with Anna McGovern as they discuss the launch of her debut book, Antifragile Supply Chains: Building Resilience Through Better Strategy and Stronger Relationships.

Supply chains are the unseen force powering the global economy—only grabbing headlines when disruption strikes. But what if we reimagined them not just as systems to be optimized, but as strategic engines of innovation, adaptability, and growth?

In this thought-provoking session, Anna will share the inspiration behind her book and explore how supply chain leaders can shift from reactive resilience to proactive antifragility. At the core of her message is a powerful truth: relationships are the foundation of every successful supply chain.

Whether you're a supply chain professional, procurement leader, or business strategist, this conversation will offer fresh insights and actionable ideas to help you thrive in today’s complex and ever-changing environment.

From Cost to Resilience: Why Supplier ESG Visibility Is Key for Navigating Tariffs

May 12, 2025
Articles
  • Sponsored Content | The Trump administration’s far-reaching – and constantly shifting – tariffs are reshaping global trade and pushing many US companies to reinvent where and how they source. A 90-day pause on new tariffs for most countries has offered some relief for US companies, but with nearly all Chinese goods now subject to a 125% tariff, procurement teams face intense pressure to adapt. Companies can’t afford to wait for clarity from the new administration: they must act quickly to build diverse and resilient supply chains capable of navigating this new landscape.
