ISM-Philadelphia, Inc.

Join ISM’s quarterly member-only executive briefing as Tom Derry, CEO of the Institute for Supply Management, convenes two senior leaders to unpack how evolving tariff regimes and trade policy are reshaping supply chain risk in the year ahead. Alan Harrah, CPSM, CSCP, CPO of Daikin Applied Americas, and Rajeshnath VT, SVP Supply Chain at Pentair, will share practical strategies for tariff mitigation, supplier engagement, and financial exposure management—grounded in real-world operations across complex, global networks. Expect a concise, insight-rich hour that connects macro developments to actionable tactics you can deploy immediately.

You’ll leave with a clear view of the tariff landscape, a decision-making toolkit for scenario planning, and concrete ideas to strengthen continuity, cost control, and resilience—whether you manage direct materials, indirect categories, or multi-tier supplier ecosystems. Live audience Q&A is included and encouraged.

Join us for an exclusive session with Paul Lee, Director of ISM Research & Analytics, as we uncover the secrets behind the ISM® Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI®)—one of the most trusted early indicators of U.S. economic performance.

Paul will break down the PMI® methodology, explain how it tracks critical supply chain metrics like new orders, production, and employment, and show why these insights are essential for forecasting and strategic planning.

In the second half, Paul will connect the latest PMI® trends to broader economic indicators such as GDP growth and interest rate expectations. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to interpret economic signals and strengthen your decision-making.
