The biggest obstacle is a lack of resources. We need more money to buy better equipment, hire more staff, and expand our operations. Without the necessary resources, we are limited in what we can achieve.

For me, my biggest obstacle is our suppliers, we are a small company therefore we cannot afford to deal with the most responsible suppliers, therefore we have irresponsible suppliers, despite this I play with time and we almost always comply with our clients.

You always have a new obstacle as a logistics manager, in our company it has gone from the suppliers that have already been settled to the distributors, right now we have problems with our vendors, they are not achieving the necessary sales and we have not been able to empty the deposits.

Well for my company the biggest logistical problem is our CEO, he is a disaster, he offers impossible delivery dates and makes the whole company work under a single order that he offered to a new client, obviously the order is not achieved in the time that he tells and we usually lose clients, but he always has new lies for new clients.

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?
