This book provides a practical roadmap for procurement and supply chain leaders navigating an increasingly volatile business environment. In a world shaped by ongoing disruption, from geopolitical conflict and climate events to cyber threats and economic uncertainty, it challenges the traditional focus on efficiency alone and presents a new approach centered on resilience and long-term adaptability.

Combining strategic insight with practical guidance, it explores supply chain risk, AI-driven risk intelligence, procurement-led governance, and modern resilience frameworks. Readers will learn how to move beyond reactive risk management and create organizations that are better prepared for geopolitical, environmental, operational, and cyber threats.

A standout feature is its Contracting for Resilience toolkit, offering actionable frameworks, governance models, and contractual strategies that can be applied immediately.
By the end of the book, readers will be able to identify hidden vulnerabilities, strengthen supplier networks, leverage AI for risk visibility, and build procurement functions that turn disruption into a competitive advantage.
