New research reveals the gap between risk investment and real-world resilience.

European supply chains continue to operate in an environment defined by disruption, geopolitical uncertainty and rising operational complexity. But are current strategies  delivering the resilience organisations believe they are?

KEY STATS:

  • 66% experienced supply chain disruptions in the past 12 months

  • 90% have a formal risk strategy - only 8% rate their mitigation practices as highly effective

  • 70% of those disrupted say it affected product flows and inventory levels

  • 33% have high confidence in their 3PL's ability to manage disruptions

  • 3% cite resilience as a standalone
