Increasing regulatory requirements are forcing companies to monitor their suppliers in much more depth than ever before.

This panel will help you:
- Identify risks that could impact your supply chain, their probability and potential impact: natural disaster, geopolitical, export/import trade, regulatory, and more
- Design a comprehensive program to mitigate future supply risks and limit nasty surprises
- At what level or spend should procurement get involved in vetting potential suppliers for red flags? (Can the smaller suppliers be more risky?)
- Determine whether excess inventory, time, or resources is most important in mitigating risk, and how your suppliers optimize this buffer
- Implementing the technology and tools needed to monitor suppliers for red flags and alert you when something is amiss
- Risk sharing with your suppliers- does it work?

12:00 - 12:40 Panel: Establishing and Optimizing a Global IT Sourcing Strategy
Companies with a global footprint have an especially challenging time developing a comprehensive IT sourcing strategy. When it comes to compliance issues, configuration issues, multiple reseller relationships and various pricing models, what’s the best way to implement a cohesive strategy across the world? Can global contracts be implemented from the home office? Do you need to decentralize? How do you deal with a patchwork of often conflicting global laws and regulations, especially in the EU and China? This panel will discuss how to overcome the headaches and optimize your global IT program.
