The book explains the governance structures, systems and controls needed to protect any organization, alongside real-world examples, ""risk deep dives"", a roadmap and toolkit for implementation.

Reviews
""Today's supply chain disruptions are not anomalies; they are structural features of a more volatile world. This book shows why balancing efficiency with resilience-and accounting for finite, geographically concentrated resources-is now a strategic imperative, not a contingency plan."" * Amy Barnes, Head of Energy & Power and Head of Climate & Sustainability Strategy, Marsh Risk * ""James Crask and Catherine Cyphus provide a comprehensive analysis of where we are and how we arrived here, but the big win for me is in the way they convert that context and their experience into practical steps that individuals and organizations can take to find solutions and opportunities."" * Neil Cook, Group Risk Director, BUPA * ""Global events, from COVID-19 to geopolitical conflict, have exposed the fragility of modern supply chains. For organizations operating in safety-critical, international environments such as nuclear transport and logistics, resilience is essential. This timely and accessible book offers practical insight into managing supply-chain risk and navigating disruption in an increasingly uncertain world."" * Richard James, Head of Risk, Nuclear Transport Solutions *
