Risk in Context Podcast

Show Notes

As they become more interconnected, global supply chains can be impacted by a wide range of risks. Whether it's geopolitical and geoeconomic conflicts, including the introduction of tariffs and counter-tariffs, natural catastrophes, or climate change, this web of risks can cause disruptions that lead to delays, shortages, and increased costs. The complexity and fragility of supply chains is often compounded by limited visibility into upstream suppliers, making it difficult to assess potential vulnerabilities and respond proactively. In this episode of Risk in Context, Karl Bryant, Amy Barnes, John Davies, and Jason Brewer discuss the wide range of challenges that could disrupt supply chains and some of the actions that senior leaders should consider to mitigate evolving and emerging supply chain risks.
