As a supply chain security risk and resilience consultant at BSI Consulting, Paul Raw brings his extensive international supply chain security background to bear on complex supply chain challenges. His daily responsibilities center on aligning clients' corporate and operational objectives, while creating multi-layered approaches to address supply chain risks. A sizeable portion of his role involves conducting thorough research to ensure BSI Consulting maintains its position as a thought leader in supply chain security and organizational resilience.
In the past 12 months, Raw has continued work with a global NGO that donates pharmaceutical products to developing countries. Working within international best practices, he has helped protect the company’s supply chain operations, despite limited internal resources. The impact of this work successfully translated these pharmaceutical supply chain solutions to benefit other sectors, including food. Key achievements include:
• Developing strategic tools and solutions specifically designed for rapidly changing environments.
• Creating holistic approaches that can be effectively adapted across different sectors and geographical environments.
• Implementing quality assurance measures to maintain medication effectiveness and strengthen protection against black market products and supply chain diversion.
• Acting as a force multiplier for the organization's capabilities and applying this enhanced capability globally.
Over the next year, Raw's primary goal is to help organizations transition from a reactive risk management approach to a proactive one by developing AI-enhanced solutions that can identify potential risks before they materialize; creating more efficient and effective risk mitigation strategies; implementing preventative measures that enhance resilience and reduce the need for reactive responses; and establishing new frameworks for proactive supply chain risk management.
