For instance, could a shortage of chips (especially those used in automotive) been predicted in advance of it the challenges actually manifesting themselves?&amp;nbsp; In an interconnected world – and keeping in mind that an event does not have to directly effect our first-level suppliers, but can have an impact further upstream – could the political upheaval in places like Myanmar been anticipated and counter-measures put in place? But it’s one thing to be able to predict the future, it’s quite another to act on the information.&amp;nbsp; At the end of the day, the information is only as good as the human interpreting it. Give a listen to the conversation.
