The Resilience Shift has participated in a new film on ports, Gateways to Growth, commissioned by the UK Chamber of Shipping and the British Ports Association, featuring contributions on Resilience4Ports from Tesco, EBRD, Arup, and the Port of London Authority, alongside Dr Juliet Mian.
By injecting resilience concepts and methods into mainstream value chain analysis we can build a more robust method for determining the resilience of networks and systems. This paper argues the case for this new approach: value chain resilience.
Roche has announced a problem with its supply chain for diagnostic tests. Resilience requires alternatives and back-ups in place as a matter of routine.
Our work to date shows an urgent need to build the whole-system resilience of ports and global supply chains to withstand multiple drivers of disruption. We are inviting industry, practitioners and policy makers to work with us to deliver on this ambition.
How can combining resilience thinking with value chain analysis increase competitive advantage protect against shocks and longer-term stresses? A paper authored by Dr Igor Linkov and other experts including some of the Resilience Shift team, argues the case for ‘value chain resilience’.
This article featured in Cereal Foods World explores the relationship between food supply chain resilience and critical infrastructure.
“There is a very tense situation currently with a huge number of people dying every day from starvation, and 70% of our planet not yet exploited for food. Food safety is all about resilience”. Vincent Doumeizel from Lloyd’s Register Foundation, talks about education, innovation and the potential of seaweed.
The global supply of food is an incredibly complex system, involving multiple actors and a diverse value chain from production through to consumption. Every part of the chain is dependent on infrastructure systems. We share six principles for enhancing the resilience of food transportation systems from our contribution to Cereal Foods World.
Since September 2019, bushfires in Australia have burned through some 10 million hectares of land. The fires have made headlines globally. With many months to go in the fire season, what does this mean for Australia’s infrastructure, and are there wider lessons for the resilience shift?
Contributing to the research on global supply chains, this guest blog on the initial UK-focused research highlights global pinch points, the impact of politics, and how data analytics and sight upstream are critical to resilience
Topical discussions at the UK Ports Conference echoed the findings of research into global supply chain dependencies on critical infrastructure.
Two new reports present findings from research into the dependency of global supply chains on critical infrastructure resilience
This brief report presents the findings from a global series of workshops, engaging stakeholders from across the food supply chain, seeking to benchmark how the resilience of critical infrastructure is understood and dealt with in practice.
This publication is a companion document to a series of workshops on the topic of Resilience of Global Food Supply Chains. It contains workshop findings for Brisbane, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Madrid, Manchester, New York and San Francisco.
This primer introduces the elementary principles of resilience relevant to the ports sector and is part of a body of knowledge intended to help those responsible for the financing, planning, design, delivery, operation and maintenance of critical infrastructure systems.
