    Supply Chain Disasters: Planning for the Unthinkable
    There’s no shortage of potential events that can disrupt and derail supply chains, from global pandemics and regional conflicts to port strikes and supplier bankruptcies. But a surprisingly large majority of shippers surveyed don’t even have a written disaster plan to ensure their supply chains and their businesses can survive the unexpected. Only about 30% of businesses pre-emptively plan for supply chain disruption in a formal manner, using disaster preparedness plans, according to consulting firm Colliers SCS. When it comes to risk management, "doing nothing” costs real money, reducing corporate profitability even before accounting for the potential cost of supply chain disruption. This session will hammer out practical steps to develop written risk management and continuity plans that protect end-to-end global supply chains from first to final mile. Topics covered will include what needs to be covered by such plans, who should develop them, how to win support and resources from the C-level. How should plans be implemented when disaster strikes? What are the real budgetary benefits of having a written plan and can we really plan for disasters and problems as yet unimagined?
