Getting the Best Out of Your Supply Chain Whilst Managing Risk

Organisations turn to suppliers for good reason: to manage cost, build capacity, and access capability they don't have in-house. When supplier relationships are working well, they become a genuine source of value and competitive advantage. But realising that potential depends on having the right foundations in place, and too many organisations find themselves scrambling to manage risk precisely because those foundations aren't there.

The result is that supplier oversight becomes a reactive exercise rather than a strategic one, and the value you were looking to unlock gets undermined by the risks you weren't prepared for.

Senior leaders are increasingly asking: 

  • How do we extract real value from our supply chain, not just manage the exposure it creates?

  • Where does supplier management end and enterprise risk begin?
  • What does proportionate, practical oversight actually look like?
  • Are our exit plans realistic, or just theoretical?

The session featured Ricky Martin from DLA Piper alongside Raj Kohli from DCR Partners to explore these questions through a practical, experience-led conversation followed by an open Q&A.
