At the 2024 edition of the North American Manufacturing Excellence Summit series we sat down with René Buck, the CEO of BCI Global, to talk about geopolitical issues facing manufacturers today. While supply chain disruption and global footprint optimization are hot topics that every company is looking to address, this discussion goes further to expand on major issues and trends that are shaping the way businesses are operating around the globe, and what different governments are doing to guide the conversation and incentivize manufacturers to prepare for a future that is going to be shaped as much by politics as by economic considerations. In this wide-ranging and far-sighted conversation, we explore the past, present, and likely future of business strategy with insights and in-depth knowledge from the leader of one of the world’s top boutique consulting firms on these issues. Give this episode a listen!
