How CPOs and CSCOs are navigating disruption — and where they see AI reshaping supplier risk.

Supply chains are in the crosshairs of disruption. Geopolitical tensions, tariffs, inflationary costs, supplier insolvencies, and escalating regulatory demands are putting unprecedented pressure on procurement and supply chain leaders. 

To understand how senior executives are responding, Sphera surveyed 200 CPOs and CSCOs across the US and UK. This exclusive report uncovers how often disruptions strike, how they impact revenue, and how leaders are reshaping their supply chains — with AI-powered supplier risk intelligence taking center stage. 

What’s inside: 

  • Why 94.5% of leaders are preparing to shift their supply base within 18 months 
  • How supplier blind spots are draining revenue and investor confidence 
  • The ROI boards demand from Gen AI supplier risk intelligence 
  • Why boards now challenge supply chain risk decisions at a higher frequency  
  • The “confidence paradox” between supplier data quality and disruption reality 

Key insight:
Leaders see AI-generated supplier risk summaries as the catalyst to close the gap between data and decisions — cutting review cycles from weeks to minutes and protecting revenue in real time.
