Description

“You know when you’re watching sci-fi movies, and the heroes enter a grocery store and see empty shelves, you know the zombies are coming.” -Brian David Johnson


What does sci-fi have to do with the supply chain? Well, supply chains' inner workings were non-existent for the average consumer. But, as soon as there’s a toilet paper shortage, suddenly this invisible link comes into full view. There is always going to be disruptions.  Supply chains and the people who run them, find their resilience in their preparation for the future.


Our guest, Brian David Johnson, shares his expertise as a Futurist and Threatcaster for leading tech organizations and how that translates to supply chains and consumers.


Part one of this two-part episode will explore:


  • What is futurecasting, threatcasting, and scenario planning?

  • How does futurecasting function in supply chain?

  • How have disruptions changed the mindsets of consumers and businesses?
