The Extraordinary Opportunity for Global Economies
Supply chain management is vital to global competitiveness. It can free up capital to support strategic investments that drive value and create jobs. At the same time, interconnectedness among the world?s supply chains has made them more vulnerable to disruptions from natural disasters, political instability or terrorism. Rice?s presentation will explore how companies can take advantage of our global interconnectedness to find greater efficiencies, become more sustainable and rebuild our struggling world economy.
?Condoleezza Rice is a remarkable leader with a unique perspective on global events and how they shape our world today. We are honored to welcome her to JDA FOCUS 2012,? said JDA Software President and CEO Hamish Brewer. ?We look forward to hearing her views on our shared global challenges and the leadership and vision it takes to turn those to opportunities.?
