Paying for Predictability: Why the Business Case for Supply Chain Investment Keeps Failing

Supply chain leaders know the investment case for resilience and capability. The harder question is why it keeps failing — and what practitioners are doing differently to get it through. Drawing on a BPC online roundtable hosted by James Moffatt of Baringa.

From Stability to Predictability: Rethinking Resilience in a Volatile World

Why resilience is no longer about restoring stability, but about redesigning decisions, aligning capital allocation with risk tolerance, and investing deliberately in predictability in a structurally volatile world.

James Moffatt on Why Data, Economics and Short-Termism Hold Supply Chains Back

James Moffatt of Baringa explains why supply chain transformation so often stalls before technology becomes the constraint. From fragile data foundations and misaligned outsourcing economics to short-term leadership incentives, he outlines the structural barriers that slow progress—and why the only viable route to automation, resilience and decarbonisation is a deliberate, step-by-step maturity journey rather than a single leap to an ideal future state.

Paying for predictability: investment decisions in an unstable world

  • Where are organisations still optimising for efficiency when they should be paying for predictability, and how do you make that case internally?
  • What structural risks are being knowingly carried because long-term investment feels too hard to justify against near-term financial pressure?
  • How do you price risk that hasn't materialised yet without either overstating the threat or understating the exposure?
  • How should boards and CFOs define acceptable volatility ranges before disruption forces reactive action?
  • What does good risk investment sequencing look like: where do you start when budget is constrained and every option involves a trade-off?
