Mapping the Risks
Probability :
1 low – 3 moderate – 5 high
Impact :
1 low – 3 moderate – 5 high
Criticality :
15 – 25 High priority : requires an abatement plan
5 – 9 Medium priority : teams must decide if an
abatement plan is required
1 – 3 Low priority : no additional attention (in principle!)

What if analysis can be extremely
powerful in business.
© EIPM 2013
Page 27
Think about these questions:
• What if air traffic was shut down due to another volcano? What would this do to our supply chain?
• What if we offered our client a new discount model? Would they buy more products in the future?
• What if we were able to reduce our expenses by 5%? How much flexibility would we gain?
• What if every employee reduced their business travel by just one trip per year?
• What if we changed our fixed phone plans to variable ones? Would we be able to save cost?
Developing those what if questions is the first step. The second step requires us to understand the answers and the potential impact on our business with live practice.

Obstacles to what if analysis
• Data is complex
• Spreadsheets are often too heavy
• Not enough details. Focus at the big picture but problems hide in the details.
• Slow to handle the complexity.
• Live Simulation phase is neglicted
• Not everybody have interest and understand the purpose
As a result, too many people shy away from performing what if analysis

FRAGILE Damaged by Disorder
ROBUST Resilient to Disorder
ANTIFRAGILE Benefit from Disorder
Definition of ANTIFRAGILE
Simply, antifragility is defined as a convex response
to a stressor or source of harm (for some range of
variation), leading to a positive sensitivity to increase
in volatility (or variability, stress, dispersion of
outcomes, or uncertainty, what is grouped under the
designation "disorder cluster"). Likewise fragility is
defined as a concave sensitivity to stressors, leading
a negative sensitivity to increase in volatility. The
relation between fragility, convexity, and sensitivity to
disorder is mathematical, obtained by theorem, not
derived from empirical data mining or some historical
narrative. It is a priori." © EIPM 2013
Page 33 From Wikipedia
© EIPM 2013
Page 34
“Antifragility is beyond
resilience or robustness. The
resilient resists shocks and
stays the same; the Antifragile
gets better.”

Use audit to enquire about risks
Every quarter, review your risk matrix
Take risk into consideration when developing contracts. What If?
Establish Key performance measures that informs you about risks
Prepare yourself to handle crisis – Change the Culture of Risk in the company
Segment your suppliers and purchasing families from a risk point of view
Maturity in Risk management
Formal risk management
• Systematic identification, evaluation & prevention of risk to reduce impact on performance
Coordinated risk management • Collaborate with
suppliers on risk management
• Joint mitigation strategies
• Crisis management team
Designed for risk
• Define priorities
• Flexible supply chains
• Redundancies
• Real time information sharing
• Design value chain to prevent disruption
• Cultural change in the company
© EIPM 2013
Page 36
•Consequences are not known
•Low frequency events
•Resource shortages
•Requires cross-functional effort
•Short tenure of managers
•You don’t get credit for fixing problems that never happen
•You have not experienced one
The procurement contribution Why not more attention is paid to the risk of disruptions?

Risk analysis is an essential tool to:
– avoid fire fighting
– avoid extra non expected costs
– provide visibility to the purchasing function
