That’s what we all wonder about, isn’t it? I was hoping that the annual Global Risks report, published by the World Economic Forum would shed some light on that, picking up on their 2008 subject, Hyper-optimization and supply chain vulnerability: an invisible global risk?. But, the 2009 report did not follow up that particular subject, it went in a different direction, taking a broader look, not a certain industries or sectors or parts of the economy, but looking at whole countries and their risk preparedness. What the financial crisis has shown, is that the globalized world is interconnected.

Supply chains?

Supply chains not mentioned anymore, simply because the risk scenarios have changed so dramatically since the last report. Nonetheless, the report does highlight the risk of underinvestment in infrastructure, an important asset in any supply chain.
