Where next as supply chain trade takes a hit?

 

I am the CEO of a company that manages supply chain for several large Western brands. Rising labour costs in China have, however, prompted two of the company’s largest clients to relocate their supply chains elsewhere. Knowing that this is going to have a severe impact on the company, I am devising a back-up plan should the worst happen. I have observed a number of C-level openings in the retail sector. Although I have not worked in this sector previously, I have had many dealings with it through some former clients. I am unsure how practical such a transition might be. Is it doable or am I deceiving myself?
