*The traditional supply chain model you've been using your whole career might be why you can't see the risks.* 

*"Stop Calling It a Supply Chain" by Stephen Dombroski, 40-Year Food Industry Veteran*

The food and consumer goods industry has spent decades managing a supply chain that was never really a chain. It's a living, shifting ecosystem, and the systems most manufacturers rely on today were built to record what happened, not to drive what happens next.

In this provocative eBook, Stephen Dombroski challenges manufacturers to stop thinking in straight lines and start looking across the full ecosystem, from Tier 3 suppliers to the consumer’s doorstep. Drawing on real-world disruptions, global regulatory pressure, and the evolving CPG value chain, the eBook explores what it takes to build an operation that can see more, respond faster, and adapt to change. It also includes seven questions to help manufacturers uncover where their operations may be exposed.
