Executive Summary
Geopolitical risks have escalated dramatically in the last three years, particularly decoupling between major economies and organizations. As decoupling is happening faster, and in more ways than many anticipated, it is inducing a myriad of operational risks for firms with supply chains extending overseas. This report examines the drivers of decoupling and the strategies to overcome its effects on supply chains. Moreover, it looks to the emergence of supplier intelligence frameworks, real-time intelligence feeds and process intelligence software as potential solutions.About the Authors
