AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
Supply-chain snarls have been one of the biggest stories since the pandemic broke out. When we surveyed leaders last year, 93 percent of them told us they intended to make adjustments to their supply chains to become more flexible, agile, and resilient. How’s that playing out? New findings offer data on efforts to shore up operations, how those compare with plans from early in the crisis, and what to expect in the months to come. For instance: nearly nine out of ten respondents expect to pursue some degree of regionalization in the next three years. Check out the full results for a rich read on supply chains at an inflection point.

“There is in life a power, a consciousness, a dynamism that is greater than human control. When we acknowledge that we are navigating the skies, sailing the high seas, and not controlling life, we make far more profitable, ethical, and sustainable decisions.”
Author and Columbia University professor Lisa Miller in an interview on the new science of spirituality, the latest from McKinsey’s Author Talks series
