The Gartner Supply Chain Podcast

Realize Resilience ROI Through Connected Risk Management

Episode Summary

Supply chains often struggle to meet demand and supply profitability after disruption. Organizations experienced on average 17 high-impact events of the past year, while cost of ownership after disruption increases on average 40%. Gartner’s latest risk study dives into how organizations can reduce impact after disruption and debunks why “resilience” is not always the most effective strategy.

Episode Notes

This episode explores:

In this episode of the Supply Chain Podcast, host Lindsay Azim and guest Suzie Petrusic, Gartner Senior Director Analyst, discuss the significant misalignment between supply chain’s risk mitigation activities and investments with the ROI they should drive. Suzie’s recent research into the topic revealed how factors like siloed capabilities and general disagreement on mitigation priorities are resulting in wasted time and resources — in some cases creating pure overhead instead of ROI. Lindsay and Suzie explore these challenges’ root causes and impacts, as well as how CSCOs can address them in their own organizations.
