The Power of Resilience

How the Best Companies Manage the Unexpected

De: Yossi Sheffi

Narrado por: Sean Pratt

A catastrophic earthquake is followed by a tsunami that inundates the coastline, and around the globe manufacturing comes to a standstill. State-of-the-art passenger jets are grounded because of a malfunctioning part. A strike halts shipments through a major port. A new digital device decimates the sales of other brands and sends established firms to the brink of bankruptcy. The interconnectedness of the global economy today means that unexpected events in one corner of the globe can ripple through the world's supply chain and affect customers everywhere.

In this audiobook Yossi Sheffi shows why modern vulnerabilities call for innovative processes and tools for creating and embedding corporate resilience and risk management. Sheffi offers fascinating case studies that illustrate how companies have prepared for, coped with, and come out stronger following disruption - from the actions of Intel after the 2011 Japanese tsunami to the disruption in the "money supply chain" caused by the 2008 financial crisis.

Sheffi, author of the widely read The Resilient Enterprise, focuses here on deep-tier risks as well as corporate responsibility, cybersecurity, long-term disruptions, business continuity planning, emergency operations centers, detection, and systemic disruptions. Supply chain risk management, Sheffi shows, is a balancing act between taking on the risks involved in new products, new markets, and new processes - all crucial for growth - and the resilience created by advanced risk management.

If you're into Supply Chain, this is a good read!

Title says it all. If you're interested in the interior workings of how companies source and sell and pivot during disruption, then this is the book for you. I have been in Logistics for 20+ years and I really enjoyed it. Many things you may know, but gives you an appreciation of how many moving parts are in this industry.

Well written and does not overcomplicate

The global supply chain is explained extremely well. The author's way of explaining supply chain management- logics is beautiful. As I had no prior knowledge about this topic, I found some parts of the book challenging, but doable. Yossi Sheffi found a way to spark my interest in the topic.

Resilience Vs Insurance
