Abstract

The conventional playbook for managing supply chain risk is falling short in the face of increasing disruption from geopolitical events like trade wars, sanctions, and armed conflict. A three-part framework for understanding geopolitical signals through scenario planning and risk monitoring, anticipating risks by creating flexible options, and adapting quickly to disruptions can help companies protect their supply chains.
