Quarterly State of Risk Update

Global risk is no longer a background factor. It is shaping how supply chains are built, managed and transformed in real time.

In this member-exclusive quarterly briefing, you will gain a clear, grounded view of the geopolitical and economic forces influencing supply chain risk today and what they signal for the months ahead. Matthew Bey, Senior Global Analyst and Head of Methodology at RANE Network, will walk through RANE’s Q3 global risk outlook, highlighting the most significant developments and emerging scenarios supply chain leaders should be prepared for.

From shifts in global trade and the energy transition to the evolving dynamics of U.S.-China competition, this session connects RANE’s latest analysis directly to your decisions.

This session goes beyond headlines. You will hear how leading organizations are using scenario planning to prepare for uncertainty and where risk is most likely to impact sourcing, operations and long-term strategy. The focus is practical: what you should be watching, what it could mean for your organization and how to respond with greater confidence.

Whether you are managing category risk, advising leadership or shaping enterprise strategy, this briefing will help you connect global events to the decisions in front of you.
