risks

Risk management is a “rising star” among

strategic areas of business

and supply chains.

Summary and Key Takeaways

Supply chains are E2E and by

definition include multiple

organizations

Supply chains are living, breathing

ecosystems

Supply chains not only need to

“outrun the bear,” but need to

know “what bear to chase”

The keys to supply chain success include

efficiency and effectiveness, and also the

ability to innovate and transform

Supply chain success also requires a

continuing supply of fresh, capable talent

We are all fortunate to be in the supply

chain business, as this is finally taking its

deserved place as a core competency for

success in most types of business
