In this new episode of Supply Chain Deepdive, hosts Michael Jung and Jess Williams dissect Kearney’s latest report, “Leading in Structural Volatility.” The research highlights how volatility is no longer episodic - it’s now a permanent structural feature of global supply chains.

The report forecasts global supply chain costs climbing as much as 7% above inflation by late 2025, fueled by tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and economic unpredictability. To adapt, Kearney outlines three critical imperatives:

Building adaptive systems that can operate under pressure
Harnessing AI for business reengineering
Competing through interconnected ecosystems, not in isolation

This episode explores how leaders can evolve beyond resilience toward true “absorption strategies” to survive and thrive in the new normal of constant disruption.
