• Working capital reduction

  Resiliency is about being agile and lean at the same time. By reducing costs, working capital reduction and cash flow preservation is key, especially since inflation is at a 40-year high. 55% of CEOs expect a significant rise in inflation over the next three years and hence 75% are increasing their supply chain initiatives year over year.
