Global supply chains are undergoing a fundamental transformation. The decades-long model focused on cost optimisation and just-in-time delivery is being reshaped by a new reality – one defined by geopolitical and macroeconomic complexity and rising regulatory expectations.  

So, what can you do to respond? What practical options are available to procurement to respond to the growing need for resilience, transparency and adaptability in supply chains? How can businesses rethink sourcing strategies and supplier networks? 

In this webinar, we’ll examine the move away from linear models toward a more segmented approach that includes far-shore, near-shore, friend-shore, and on-shore models. We’ll also show how AI is enabling greater supply chain visibility, proactive risk management, and faster decision-making in this more complex environment. 

Key Takeaways  

  1. How geopolitical shifts and trade realignments are impacting global supply chain structures  
  2. Strategies for assessing and mitigating supplier risk across regions and tiers  
  3. The importance of incorporating the ‘9th – compliance risk’ into risk management programmes   
  4. How AI is transforming risk response and scenario planning  
  5. What procurement leaders should prioritise over the next 12 months
