Supply Chain Resilience & Multi-Sourcing Strategy
Source for the shock, not just for the price.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Risk appetite for supply chain resilience is written in adjectives, so every exception is defensible and every decision is unpriced. Every unpriced supply chain resilience exposure is a subsidy paid out of future earnings — quietly, until it is not. You leave with your institution's supply chain resilience exposures quantified, its response rehearsed, and a board-ready blueprint for the controls that matter.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Design a supply chain resilience risk architecture that anticipates rather than documents.
- Quantify supply chain resilience exposure in money — loss scenarios, tolerances and stress tests.
- Rehearse the supply chain resilience response before it is needed — command, disclosure and coordination.
- Lead supply chain resilience incident command when the organisation is under pressure.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
When the River Moved
A national health insurer built its supply chain on a river basin whose hydrology has shifted; two plants and thousands of contracts are exposed to supply chain resilience disruption. The climate models disagree on timing, not direction.
Your decision: Choose the adaptation portfolio — relocate, harden, or diversify — with capital, community and lender implications priced in.
IPAT Data Lab™
The supply chain resilience incidents at a national health insurer are individually small and collectively serious — and no one has connected them.
Dataset: Synthetic multi-year incident, near-miss and control data for a national health insurer.
Your task: Build the heat map, test the tolerances, and write the 4 a.m. command card for the top exposure.
A supply chain resilience heat map, impact tolerances and an incident command card.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
Day 5 · The Capstone
What will you change when you return to work?
