Risk management should be front-and-center on the slate of issues that merit careful attention of CEOs and other business leaders. Failure to address a company’s vulnerability to disruptions can result in catastrophic losses and a potential collapse in customer and supplier confidence. In addition, a firm’s financial performance is linked to its ability to mitigate risk. Firms therefore need to identify and confront their enterprise, financial, and operational risks, and use an integrated approach to manage these risks across the business. Few, if any, companies currently have done so. If managed effectively, risk management could be the differentiating capability for sustainable competitive advantage.
This symposium, held on December 2, 2008, brought together researchers who are working on understanding and modeling supply network risk, and practitioners who are pioneering risk management within their respective businesses.
In this webinar, Dr. Mahender Singh, a researcher at CTL, will discuss the key findings of the symposium.
