Stay Ahead of Geopolitical Supply Chain Risks
Conventional supply chain risk management is insufficient for geopolitical disruptions; organizations require scenario planning, flexible options, and rapid adaptation capabilities.
Summary
Research examining 13 multinational companies ($10B-$150B revenue) across industries reveals how geopolitical events (trade wars, sanctions, conflict) disrupt conventional supply chain management. Three-part framework: understand geopolitical signals through scenario planning; anticipate risks through flexible options; adapt quickly to disruptions.
Editor's opinion
Useful three-part framework, but based on 13 case interviews rather than a larger evidence base.
