Abstract	Global supply chains have been changing radically over the last ten years, with increasing numbers of supply chains shifting towards resilience-based and more recently agility-based systems. By 2022, the supply chain volatility has increased as the result of a convergence of COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, climate-related shocks, technological shift, and regulatory fragmentation. These shocks have revealed the weakness of conventional supply chain strategies and hastened the necessity to have more dynamic and responsive systems. The current paper will discuss the new shift towards resilience to agility in global supply chains and also discuss how organizations can successfully cope with the persistent uncertainty. The study uses the existing literature in the fields of supply chain management, risk mitigation, and digital transformation to create a conceptual framework to understand agile supply chains. It also assesses how enabling technologies like artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and real-time information systems facilitate quick decision-making and the operational flexibility. The results indicate that as much as resilience is crucial in recovery and continuity, agility offers a more dynamic capability which is responsive, flexible and proactive to changes. Companies that implement diversification of the suppliers, regionalization and digitalization strategies are in a better position to deal with volatility. Nevertheless, there are still issues such as the trade-off between cost-efficiency and flexibility, inadequate ability to integrate fragmented data systems, and capability gaps in the organization. The research concludes that agility is becoming a very important strategic capability in 2022, as it allows organizations to not only survive disruptions but also effectively adapt to the evolving market conditions. The paper will add to the dynamic discussion of the transformation of the supply chain and offer practical information to policymakers, practitioners, and researchers.
