Outsmarting Risk with AI: The Supply Chain Resilience
Today’s global supply chains are more interconnected—and more vulnerable—than ever before. In 2024, the frequency and severity of disruptions soared, with 76% of organizations reporting at least one major incident and the annual cost of these disruptions exceeding $180 billion worldwide. The challenge is compounded by a surge in unpredictable risks: protests and civil unrest have risen by nearly 300%, extreme weather events have doubled, and regulatory changes are up by 128% year-over-year. Navigating this volatile landscape is exceptionally difficult, as risk data is fragmented across thousands of suppliers, regions, and regulatory regimes. As supply chain scrutiny intensifies and compliance demands grow, effective risk management has become not just a competitive advantage, but a business imperative—and one of the hardest challenges to get right in today’s global economy.

Navigating Complexity: The New Era of Supply Chain Risk
Building true supply chain resilience has become a critical priority for both businesses (manufacturing, airlines etc.) and asset managers/owners - yet achieving it is not without complexity. When we talk about a supply chain, overwhelming volume and diversity of unstructured data—ranging from emails, policies, incident reports, maintenance logs, governance controls etc makes up nearly 90% of all data, creating a significant divide. This fragmented and unstandardized information is difficult to access, analyze, and integrate, leading to operational inefficiencies, delayed decision-making, and hidden risks that can undermine both business continuity and portfolio performance.
For businesses, unpredictable volatility with looming internal and external risks due to global disruptions make it increasingly difficult to maintain operational continuity and protect from risk exposure. Businesses must balance cost efficiency with the need for agility, requiring real-time visibility and rapid response capabilities to navigate sudden shocks or supply interruptions. For asset managers and owners, the stakes are equally high: portfolio performance and long-term value are threatened by the same global risks, as disruptions in underlying supply chains can cascade into financial losses and reputational damage.
