Climate change is disrupting supply chains. CSCOs should take inspiration from the preemptive action of leading enterprises to address the risks and seize the opportunities associated with climate change. Deliberate adaptation approaches such as scenario modeling and risk assessment are the key.
In this podcast, guest Heather Wheatley joins host Caroline Chumakov to discuss Supply Chain Adaptation Responses to a Changing Climate. As climate change shifts the rules of the game, supply chains are having to adapt to increasingly numerous and unfamiliar disruptions.
Gartner is exploring the concept of supply chain adaptation by examining how chief supply chain officers are thinking about climate change and how they can respond to the risks as their severity and probability escalate. This podcast delves into the importance of using risk assessment and scenario planning activities hand in hand to make decisions on future planning.
