Great article. CCA has been a trailblazer for many company initiatives and still leading change! I have collaborated with Heather and her team and witnessed the positive transformation not only in CCA integration and results, but also culture! #iworkforgm #aftersales #purchasingandsupplychain #leadingchange

There is absolutely nothing new about Resource Nationalism. But the sheer pace of country after country placing limits, bans or extra taxes on critical minerals and metals is staggering. When we hear about shortages for particular items, much of it is a result of Resource Nationalism. I do offer some risk mitigation strategies at the end of the interview. In the past year and a half, we've seen limits placed on gallium, germanium, bauxite and copper and even the EU put a limit on ferrous scrap exports. And just this month, China stopped exporting antimony. Whether you are in aerospace and defense, energy or automotive, companies will need to continue to diversify the supply base. Take a listen!
