Before the current crisis, manufacturing estimates were relatively predictable, and budgeting was a straightforward process. Standard cost was predictable and variances were relatively low. That was the scenario most supply chain professionals and manufacturing leaders knew and could manage well.

For businesses and individual leaders, a crisis not only creates formidable challenges, but also opens up opportunities for improvement and growth. With both in mind, Lehigh Vistex Institute has developed a series of new live online programs that focus on the most essential insights and tools needed to overcome specific challenges and seize on developing opportunities. Embracing the concept that Josh Bersin, writing in the Harvard Business Review, calls “learning in the flow of work,” they are short duration, high impact, and easy to integrate into already demanding schedules.
