Building sovereign capability and globally competitive supply chains

Research Program

Why Supply Chain?

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fragility, risks and resiliency challenges facing Australia’s supply chains for companies at each point of the chain and across the nation. Improving supply chain performance and capability has become a critical issue for corporations with the vast majority of CEOs across all industries saying they face significant skills shortages in many critical roles and their corporations will invest in reducing supply chain disruptions and implementing supply chain innovations.
