Supply Chain Risk & Resilience
Every supply chain is a set of promises made by other people — resilience is knowing which promises break first, and what you do that hour.

The last decade taught every organisation that supply chains fail — few have turned the lesson into method. This programme does. It maps the chain beyond tier one to where the real fragility hides; measures exposure honestly — concentration, geography, financial health, logistics chokepoints; and hardens deliberately: dual sourcing, inventory strategy, contractual protections and the trade-off each costs. It closes with response: the playbook, the war-room and the supplier failure managed as an operation rather than a surprise.
What you will do
Who attends
Supply chain and procurement leaders; risk managers with third-party or supply chain remits; operations and continuity managers in supply-dependent organisations.
Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.Seeing the chain
- Multi-tier mapping: methods that work with imperfect data
- Concentration and chokepoints: suppliers, geographies, logistics, materials
- Supplier financial health: reading distress before the letter arrives
II.Hardening it
- Dual sourcing, near-shoring, inventory: the resilience menu, priced
- Contractual protections that hold under stress
- Early-warning indicators worth watching — and the noise to ignore
III.When it breaks
- The first 48 hours: triage, allocation, communication
- The supplier failure playbook: step-in, substitution, exit
- After-action: turning the incident into structure
Frequently asked
What does the supply chain risk programme cover?
Three movements. Seeing the chain: multi-tier mapping beyond tier one, with methods that work on imperfect data. Hardening it: dual sourcing, near-shoring, inventory strategy and contractual protections, each with its cost stated. And responding when it breaks: the first 48 hours, the supplier failure playbook and the after-action work that turns incidents into structure.
Who should attend?
Supply chain and procurement leaders, risk managers with third-party or supply chain remits, and operations and continuity managers in supply-dependent organisations. It suits teams who need exposure quantified per category — concentration, geography, financial health — and resilience investments chosen with their costs stated, not hidden.
Does it prepare us for an actual supplier failure?
Yes — the closing module treats supplier failure as a managed operation rather than a surprise: triage, allocation and communication in the first 48 hours, the step-in, substitution and exit playbook, and reading supplier financial distress before the letter arrives.
Is the programme available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your supply chain’s geography, concentration and chokepoints. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
