What we find is that 71% of US CEOs plan to alter their supply chains due to geopolitical and economic uncertainty, yet most are addressing symptoms rather than the root vulnerability: revenue concentration that makes supply chain disruptions catastrophic.
The Strategic Challenge:
Leadership teams face cascading supply chain risks where single-source dependencies create existential threats. When supply chains fail, revenue stops flowing, but companies with diversified revenue streams can pivot operations, negotiate from strength, and maintain business continuity while competitors struggle with operational paralysis.
Traditional Solutions and Their Strategic Limitations:
Most organizations attempt to solve supply chain resilience through diversification strategies, alternative sourcing arrangements, and inventory buffers. They invest in AI and advanced technologies to optimize supply chains and create visibility platforms for risk monitoring.
These approaches fail because they focus on operational hedging rather than revenue resilience. Supply chain diversification is expensive and complex. Technology solutions provide visibility but don't eliminate vulnerability. Inventory buffers tie up working capital without addressing demand uncertainty.
