Why companies must plan for cascading multi-risk scenarios
Supplier failure is the most common of risks and top of mind for most CPOs. But other risks (e.g., cyber, climate, geopolitical) are often rude awakenings for businesses. The bitter truth is that enterprises must plan against the potential domino effect of multiple hazards on their supply lines.
