“The events of the past year put supply chains, and ultimately organizations’ operational resilience programs under pressure from customers, internal stakeholders, as well as the regulatory bodies. Organizations need to build more resilient ecosystems to address the various types of disruptions that can ultimately impact their ability to meet customer needs. This means not only working to mitigate identified supply chain bottlenecks but also paying particular attention to concentration risks arising from third parties and other outsourcing relationships, arrangements that are increasingly difficult to understand because they often involve multiple locations, businesses and layers of subcontractors.”
