Has geopolitics permanently changed supply chain strategy?
With all the recent geopolitical tensions (Ukraine war, Red Sea disruptions, China-US tensions, sanctions, etc.), do you think companies are actually becoming more resilient or just more expensive to operate?
I’m especially curious about:
- Companies shifting suppliers or moving production closer to home
- Whether resilience investments really improve firm performance
- How businesses balance cost efficiency vs supply security
- Examples where firms handled disruptions well (or badly)
For people working in supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, or procurement:
What changes have you seen in the last few years that had the biggest impact?
