Be ready to chart a bold new course through disruption

A group of people discussing in a meeting room.

Today’s world is filled with uncertainty. Long gone are the days of creating supply chains with the sole goal of reaching the customer “just in time”. With change having become the new constant, businesses are seeking to find ways to optimise their supply chains to avoid the impacts of disruption across all parts of their business.

Our latest report, "Course for Change: Mastering supply chain resilience in an unconventional world," provides an insight into how resilience frontrunners are handling and beating the complexities of modern supply chains. This report, a collaboration between FT Longitude and Maersk, surveyed 900+ senior leaders across various industries, including automotive, lifestyle, FMCG, retail and technology.

The report’s findings show that businesses which prioritise resilience experience significantly lower disruption-related revenue losses than those that don’t. These resilience frontrunners lost less than 1% of their revenue in their last fiscal year, while the average loss was 3.9%.

However, many companies may not be aware of how they should enact supply chain resilience or how well their resilience activities are working. Research shows that two thirds of the surveyed companies believe that their supply chains are more resilient than their competitors, despite evidence showing that this is not correct.

Based on the research, three pillars of supply chain resilience were identified. These are the areas where frontrunners outperformed other surveyed companies—areas that strengthen supply chain resilience, improve operations, increase agility, and unlock growth.

The three pillars focus on:

Leadership
How people and skills drive real change towards resilience
Optimized pricing pictogram
Technology
Digital tools are turning agility from aspiration into action
Handshake
Collaboration
Unlocking resilience through stronger partnerships

Resilience is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity. Download the Course for Change report for key insights in how to enhance your supply chain to be ready to go all the way with resilience.
