In this episode of The Chain Podcast, ASCM is joined by geopolitical supply chain expert and advisor,
Koray Köse, founder and chief analyst at
Köse Advisory, discuss how supply chains are evolving from efficiency-driven networks into strategic infrastructure that shapes resilience, competitiveness and business continuity.
The conversation explores how geopolitical pressure, tariffs, sanctions, export controls, AI adoption, cyber risk and supply chain visibility are changing what leadership looks like in modern operations.
Koray Köse also explains why resilience should be treated as an operating model and investment strategy — not just a defensive response to disruption.
