🔥Risikomanagement im Mittelstand – wir geben Impulse!

Risikomanagement im Mittelstand
Risikomanagement im Mittelstand

Sie sind ein mittelständisches Unternehmen und möchten Ihre Lieferkette absichern? Dann ist unser Webinar genau das Richtige für Sie! Wir zeigen Ihnen, wie Sie mit überschaubarem Aufwand und pragmatischen Lösungen greifbare Ergebnisse erzielen: mehr Sicherheit, weniger Risiken, mehr Erfolg.

Trotz unzähliger Disruptionen und den umfassenden Anforderungen neuer Gesetze (z.B. LkSG, CSDDD), fristet ein professionelles Risikomanagement der Lieferkette in vielen Unternehmen noch immer ein Nischendasein. Unverständlich und unverantwortlich – auch im Hinblick auf die Zukunft. Lieferengpässe, steigende Rohstoffpreise, neue Gesetzgebungen oder komplexe, bleibende geopolitische Unsicherheiten, die Herausforderungen im Einkauf bleiben vielfältig und erfordern effektive Maßnahmen. Ein Krisenmanagement in turbulenten Zeiten erfordert mehr als spontane, oftmals wenig erfahrene Task-Forces. Inbesondere im Hinblick auf zunehmende Insolvenzen bedarf es ein funktionierendes Früherkennungssystem und kompetente Akteure.

Wir geben Ihnen in unserem Webinar: Mittelstand auf dem Prüfstand: Ihre Checkliste für ein effektives Lieferketten-Risikomanagement Impulse

📅 12. November 2024, 15.00 – 15.45 Uhr
