Episode 12 – Unprecedented! How can we respond to the global supply issues and rising cost?
Jonathan and Paul discuss what procurement in an inflationary environment means and what can be done about it. With unprecedented changes in the supply chain as well as differences to how trade works at a global level, it’s unlikely that these situations will return to how they used to be.

Jonathan has all the answers and information you need.
