You need to manage your supply chain risks. What are the best tools to do so?
I think this is the critical part of the process. We need to identify all our third parties and then risk assess the relationships. Third party is wider than supply chain. Once we identify our critical third parties, we then map out the supply chain behind them and risk assess 4th, 5th etc parties as required. At my company, i-confidential, we've created methodology to manage this (as the conceptually simple is always more complex than at first sight).

Your IT Operations project just experienced a major data loss. How can you prevent it from happening again?
For many years we've know that root cause identification is key. However, I've occasionally kicked myself that I haven't rolled the knowledge/logic across the wider estate and identified other places that something similar could happen. Even in traditional problem management, where we rightly focus on remediating root cause, we sometimes de-prioritise considering if we might have a thematic problem. Adding an overt step in the decision-making process might be wise. What's the risk if I don't look for this weakness elsewhere and is that risk within appetite?

How do you become a strategic planning specialist?
Over time, I've learned that no conversation is without value. If you're willing to tell your story, others may get some value from it. Key is to be willing to give and I try not to presume that I'm right. Let your new contact be the judge. If you give, then others will reciprocate. The starting position for networking is to be generous and in my experience I always get something back.
