12:00 Deep Dive Workshop Part One | Mitigating Disruptions to Your Supply Chain With An Effective Supplier Risk Management Strategy

Running out of something, be it an item or a service is the worst thing that can happen to a supply chain. What sort of resilience is necessary to help companies better respond to supply chain disruptions? How can you more effectively manage and mitigate risk associated with supply chain disruptions? Dr Azadegan has been leading this exercise with sourcing executives from top 10 pharma companies to get to the heart of how to have more resilient leadership. During thisworkshop you will be presented with a range of supply chain disruptions to various indirect categories. In small teams you will work through table topic exercises to assess how organizational resilience and supply chain resilience can affect recovery efforts during supply chain disruptions. Participants will:
• Work through supply chain disruptions in small teams
• Examine hypothetical cases of supply chain disruption
• Assess how organizational resilience and supply chain resilience can affect recovery efforts
• Building resilience & value into the supply chain
• Building shared risk into supplier contracts through effective negotiation
• How to measure, monitor and mitigate risks through a comprehensive risk management process • Building a matrix to categorize the types and probability of risks and their potential impact: natural disaster, geopolitical, export/import trade, regulatory, and more
