Supplier risk management is entering a new era. In the last five years we have experienced a global pandemic, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, civil unrest across South Asia, rising regulatory pressure around ESG and cybersecurity, and tariff disputes. At the same time, technological leaps in generative AI and agentic systems are opening new possibilities for monitoring, predicting, and managing third-party risks.
How can organisations cut through the noise to identify the right partners and technologies? And what steps are needed to build supplier risk programmes that are both resilient and future-ready?
Join this webinar to hear from WNS Procurement’s Vaibhav Jain and Sayan Debroy for an in-depth analysis of AI’s role in effective supplier risk management.
In this session, the panel will cover:
- The evolving role of AI in supplier risk management – what's possible today and what to expect in the near future (next 12-18 months)
- Balancing the hype of what AI can do vs real-world challenges
- The specific areas where AI can be used effectively to help advance supplier risk management and how this might change the way you work
- Considerations for successful adoption of AI in supplier risk management and the role of human expertise
- Key aspects to evaluate while selecting your supplier risk management partner(s)
- Real-world use cases on how AI can be combined with human intelligence to provide a robust supplier risk management solution
Join this CIPS Risk & Resilience webinar to understand how to make your supplier risk management programme future ready.
