Given the rise in the use of third parties - raw material suppliers, marketing agencies, IT outsourcers, and contingent labor among others - managing supplier risks has become more interesting to a broader set of corporate executives. Yet, business leaders who begin with an aim to understand the risks their organizations face from suppliers, often find themselves lost with too much to do and too many entities to worry about.
Rather than be intimidated by supplier risk, executives can find a middle ground where they can manage the critical risks, and associated suppliers. This webinar will help by giving listeners an approach for:
- Determining which risks need to be managed
- Deciding which suppliers are critical to those risks
- Thinking about your supplier’s supply chain
- Managing risks relative to emerging suppliers (startups, new geographies, new types of products/services)
- Balancing the need for risk management against limited resources
