The rich mix of challenges has included production footprint changes, site rationalisation, core manufacturing capability re-alignment, bolstered capital expenditure, significant changes in customer segment strategy, site recovery from destruction due to natural disasters, and organisational and cultural challenges. Through all of this, Iain has maintained a focus on building, attracting and retaining leadership talent. Many of these issues resonated with the audience and the discussion provided valuable insights and lessons for other industries.<\/p>\n<p>A huge thank you to Iain, and all our Client Alumni members who made this a wonderful evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","region":[158,159,160,161,162,240],"class_list":["post-738","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Client Alumni dinner 2019: Global transformation with a hard edge - London - Argon &amp; Co<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.argonandco.com\/en\/news-insights\/events\/global-transformation-with-a-hard-edge-transforming-a-supply-chain-in-the-face-of-new-customer-strategies-price-pressures-a-talent-gap-and-natural-disasters\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Client Alumni dinner 2019: Global transformation with a hard edge - London - Argon &amp; Co\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Crimson &amp; Co UK held its Spring Client Alumni dinner at The Goring Hotel, London on Thursday 9th May.
