No hay frase más peligrosa en el mundo de los negocios que "la nueva normalidad". Implica algún tipo de balance, la idea de que podemos encontrar y mantenernos en un lugar seguro y equilibrado, donde el terreno no se moverá repentinamente bajo nuestros pies, haciendo que nuestras premisas y planes colapsen. Eso es lo que muchas personas creen que está sucediendo con las cadenas de suministro, y es un error.

AbstractSequence-to-function models that predict gene expression from genomic DNA sequence have proven valuable for many biological tasks, including understanding cis-regulatory syntax and interpreting non-coding genetic variants. However, current state-of-the-art models have been trained largely on bulk expression profiles from healthy tissues or cell lines, and have not learned the properties of precise cell types and states that are captured in large-scale single-cell transcriptomic datasets.

Summary. After the big Covid-19 whipsaw, the most obvious forms of supply chain distress started to fade away. But the relative peace and quiet that executives are perceiving is actually ominous.

Boards and CEOs need to put supply chains back at the top of their agendas.

Strategic planning plays a key role in helping companies anticipate and manage business cycles. But forces like emerging digital technologies, climate change, and deglobalization — not to mention "black swan" events like the Covid-19 pandemic and wars — have turned a rolling sea into a choppy one, where companies are beset by currents, crosscurrents, riptides, and squalls. This multiplicity of related, unrelated, and inter-related difficulties have one thing in common: They are unpredictable.
