Three Global Factors Requiring CEOs to Adjust Their Supply Chains Now

The world is at an inflection point over growing questions, and in some cases resistance, to globalization and economic interdependence. We see three factors that are having a defining impact: the rise in “deglobalization,” the rise in protectionism, and a commitment to mitigating climate change through operational adjustments. In addition, concepts of supply chain sovereignty are rising and threaten a company’s ability to retain operating flexibility and competitive advantage. Companies are well served to find alternative choices to mitigate these new operating and financial risks. One such alternative model that has arisen is called Constellations of Value, a shift from the traditional linear view of supply chains toward a three-dimensional network of trusted, secure, and expert stakeholders with advanced digital capabilities. It is being embraced by leading supply chain owners and operators and provides a choice for CEOs to consider. Host: Christopher G.
