Join us at MIT CTL for a critical roundtable shifting the conversation from external threats to internal capability. We are moving beyond the "portfolio of risks" approach to focus on deep, multi-tier network understanding and capacity reconfiguration.

Key Discussion Points on Supply Chain Resilience:

The Business Case:

  • How to identify investments and quantify returns on resilience
  • How to frame resilience capabilities as "operational insurance"

Research Insights:

  • MIT’s multi-year research, sponsored by FEMA, on private sector supply chains and levers for system adaptation
  • Novel doctoral research on the role of AI and network science

Peer Learning/Open Discussions:

  • Cultivating trusted cross-industry and public sector relationships
  • Handling systemic risks like geopolitical shifts, cyberattacks and emerging pathogens
