Supply Chain Risk Management

Supply chains are complex ecosystems and their complexity keeps increasing. At the same time, the risk landscape is ever more interconnected and the challenges posed by intangible risks are on the rise.

How to Navigate Supply Chain Risk Management

To manage the threats to business operations posed by supply chain disruption - and importantly from secondary risk events such as reputational risk, companies need to be able to navigate risk events from across their extended supply chain ecosystem.

To respond to supply chain disruption, companies need data, analytics and insights to inform a holistic approach to supply chain risk management.

There can be benefits from implementing a data-driven, holistic approach to supply chain risk management. These can include improved supply chain resilience, enhanced risk transfer and insurance solutions. It can also support strategies to mitigate uninsurable risks, and a better understanding of the impact on key financial metrics such as shareholder value.

Aon’s Holistic Supply Chain Risk Management

At the centre of Aon’s holistic approach to supply chain management is the AI-led Risk Indicator tool. Aon’s Risk Indictor tool analyzes over 80,000 sources from over 200 countries. It can enhance supply chain risk management through predicative emerging risk intelligence, reputational risk analysis, and by providing visibility across the supply chain risk management ecosystem.

  • Predicative Emerging Risk Intelligence

    Frequency analytics show how different risk events occur across sectors and geographies.

    Country and region comparisons reveal areas of potential risk concentration. Trend data and risk frequency over time reveal the changing behavior of risks.

  • Reputational Risk Analysis

    The Risk Indictor can reveal areas of potential risk concentration. To assess the impact of supply chain risk events on key financial metrics such as shareholder value, it also illustrates the variability of potential losses including the delta between firms deemed ‘winners’ and ‘losers.’

  • Supply Chain Risk Management Ecosystem

    The Risk Indictor’s predictive risk intelligence drives visibility across the supply chain risk management process from risk theme identification, reputational risk scenarios and financial quantification, through to post-event analysis and value recovery audit.

These data outputs are a valuable source of intelligence to build effective risk transfer and insurance solutions.
