Join the Skandalaris Center for this exclusive opportunity to work on mapping supply chains and how things work in practice, building out a simplified pro forma P&L and balance sheet, or listing and ranking the potential impact of economic risks that can seem a bit dull. This session will meet in-person in Seigle Hall – with a presentation led virtually by Bob Francois.
