State of Flux’s emphasis is on helping our clients to identify and implement tangible steps to manage supply risk more effectively. A consultancy engagement typically begins with a cross-functional workshop focused on a specific risk area, category or supply chain. The aim of this is to get a group of managers, including those in customer-facing roles, talking about existing capabilities to deal with supply risk and how these might be improved.

Depending upon your requirements, we can then provide a combination of any, or all, of the following services:

• Map your supply chain risk profile.

• Assess your appetite for risk based on culture, governance and other factors.

• Identify the critical suppliers that support your ability to generate revenue.

• Locate the weakest links and vulnerabilities in your supply chain.

• Estimate the potential impact of supply failures.

• Design a process for determining how to manage specific threats.

• Evaluate the maturity of your procurement or supply chain function’s risk management skills and capabilities.

• Undertake bespoke research in key risk areas, including supplier financial health.

• Build a supply risk business case for senior management.

• Advise on the risk dimensions of other key initiatives such as contract management and supplier relationship management.
