Description
Our world is chillingly due for a pandemic. In the past 300 years, 10 pandemics have occurred; meaning, they normally strike about every 30 years. The worst from the recent past was the Spanish Flu, a deadly strain of avian influenza from 1918. This global disaster killed about 5 percent of the world’s population—more than 50 million people. It’s clear that today’s businesspeople need to be prepared, and this session will explain how to put in place processes that can help people identify and mitigate risk, manage challenges, and effectively prepare your supply chain for the next pandemic.


LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • be better equiped to understand the issues, challenges and path forward in order that they can prepare their company for Influenza Pandemics
