The Russian invasion of Ukraine is adding new troubles to the world's already stressed supply chains. This crisis has resulted in rising oil costs increasing transportation and manufacturing costs. Procurement and supply chains will need to absorb the shock of sanctions on Russia. And the disruption of Russian and Ukrainian exports, including natural gas, precious metals and wheat, will negatively impact enterprises across a variety of sectors.
Enterprises will need to respond quickly to adjust to these supply chain impacts. Identifying risks, developing mitigation strategies and minimizing disruptions are just a few of the serious business challenges to solve right now.
