Have a listen to this fantastic chat with Brad Hibbert, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Strategy Officer of Prevalent, a leader in third party risk management.With all organisations looking for ways to streamline operations and focus on their core skillsets, there has been a massive uptake over recent years in outsourcing / co-sourcing or just plain contracting out elements of the business.Whilst this realises many efficiency / cost benefits, you can't outsource the organisations responsibilities or legal obligations. Most importantly, any incidents / errors by the third party often lead to reputational damage to your own organisation.Brad talks about the methodology they use to qualify third party providers - including an initial assessment process and then ongoing monitoring - providing a 360-degree risk profile of your third-party vendors.A must listen for any organisation relying on third party providers!

Almost every organisation on the planet is reliant on a supply chain of some description - and in this episode we unpack the challenges and major developments that have affected supply chains.My guest is Pete Grett - Founder and CEO of the Blackrock Group. His career journey is an important part of his backstory, having started his working career as a temp employee in a warehouse.Something must have struck a chord with Pete as he quickly rose to a leadership career in supply chain operations including senior roles at FedEx.We touch on some of the 'front of mind' issues challenging supply chain leaders today - shipping incidents that block key supply chain infrastructure for days, weeks or even months, the emergence of artificial intelligence up and down the supply chain and of course, consumer demand for ever faster delivery times.I really enjoyed this discussion with Pete - I hope you do too.Get in touch with The Blackrock Group hereOr touch base with Pete at LinkedInContact ABM Risk Partnership to optimise your risk management approach: email us: [email protected] Tweet us at @4RiskCme Visit our LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/18394064/admin/ Thanks for listening to the show and please keep your guest suggestions coming!
