So , what do the statistics tell us ? According to BDO ’ s Global Risk report – Global Risk Landscape 2022 – A Fragmenting World – almost half of respondents ( 48 percent - global average ) said their supply chains have been severely impacted by the disruptions , with this number peaking in the Americas ( 69 percent ). Unsurprisingly , 89 percent of global supply chain leaders admitted that the events of the last few years had revealed weaknesses in their supply chain . What ’ s more , 77 percent of respondents said geo-political tensions were one of the highest priority risks for their organization .
The global risks are undeniable and the impact they are having on supply chains is profound . Interestingly , it ’ s the Americas that are taking the lead when it comes to managing the fall-out . An overwhelming 94 percent of respondents in the region have a dedicated individual responsible for supply chain risk management , while the Middle East and Americas are more likely to have supply chains optimized towards efficiency . What ’ s in little doubt is that all global regions expect a significant shift to optimize towards resilience over the next five years . scw-mag . com 9
