Harvard Business Review
Writing in Harvard Business Review, BCG’s Christian Schuh, Wolfgang Schnellbächer, and Daniel Weise outline tactics leaders can employ to anticipate future shocks and build supply chain resilience. Despite warning signs about the likelihood of a global pandemic and a war in Ukraine, businesses were still largely unprepared to withstand the resulting supply chain disruptions. Looking ahead to the next crisis, the authors advise businesses to adopt risk-monitoring operations, simplify their product portfolios, and strategically de-risk their supply chains in hopes of better weathering the storm.
