A practical guide for CPOs and CSCOs on using AI to anticipate disruption, mitigate risk, and protect profitability.

Why This Matters

Global supply chains are under relentless pressure, from geopolitical unrest and trade wars to supplier bankruptcies, cyberattacks, and mounting regulations. At the same time, supply chains now generate roughly between 3.5 - 4 zettabytes of data annually, a volume so vast it often obscures the very risks leaders need to act on.

This white paper shows how AI can turn data overload into foresight, empowering supply chain leaders to move from firefighting to resilience.

What You’ll Learn
Inside this guide, you’ll discover:

  • Where AI delivers value in risk management: from supplier selection and monitoring to disruption response and compliance.
  • How AI cuts through noise: surfacing early-warning signals like supplier financial distress, regulatory penalties, or geopolitical volatility.
  • Best practices for adoption: avoiding the pilot trap, scaling beyond silos, and integrating AI with Supplier Intelligence
  • The ROI of resilience: why leading companies are investing in AI at more than twice the rate of peers, and how it translates directly into margin protection and growth.

Who Should Read This Guide
This white paper is written for:

  • Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs)
  • Chief Supply Chain Officers (CSCOs)
  • Senior leaders in procurement, risk, and compliance functions

If your mandate includes securing continuity, protecting revenue, or ensuring regulatory compliance, this guide is for you.
