ISM-Greater Grand Rapids: Making the Call: How Sup

When a plan crosses an executive’s desk, what are they actually looking for? Which tools do they rely on, and how long does a major decision take from start to finish?

That question came from a University student, and it’s the idea behind this ISM-GGR event.

Our panelists will each draw on a real decision from their careers and share:

·         What prompted the decision and what they wanted to see before moving forward?

·         The tools and analysis they relied on?

·         How long the process took, and where it stalled?

·         What earned supply chain a seat at the table?

Students will leave with a clearer picture of how decisions get made, and professional members will get a fresh perspective from the top. Bring your questions for the live Q&A.
