Geopolitics – What Is It?

How geopolitics affects global supply chains, tariffs, sourcing decisions, market planning and commercial risk. Not commentary on the news - a working method for judging what a political change actually means for your goods and your costs.

What you will learn

• How political decisions become tariffs, controls and sanctions
• Why supply chains concentrate risk without anyone deciding to
• How to read a change in trade policy for its commercial effect
• Sourcing and market decisions that reduce exposure
• What to monitor, and what is noise

Who should attend

• Senior managers and directors
• Procurement and sourcing teams
• Supply chain and logistics leads
• Strategy and commercial planning teams
• Businesses exposed to a single country or route

Why this workshop matters

Tariffs, sanctions and route closures arrive with little notice and no consultation. The businesses that cope have thought about it before it happened.

Format

Live online workshop, 9:30-11:45 (2 hours). Certificate of attendance on completion.
