US-Israel-Iran war fallout is rapidly becoming a major automotive supply chain threat, as Strait of Hormuz disruption, shipping reroutes, and Qatar’s LNG shutdown drive up energy, freight, and production risk. Alongside that shock, First Brands’ collapse, automaker CEO turnover, logistics scrutiny, and semiconductor uncertainty are adding fresh pressure across the industry.
These are worryingly difficult times for the majority of the business world. I suggest a thorough and comprehensive Context review of inward and outward elements of any current business system (not just your own operating model) for clarity of potential material impacts and what the tipping point could be (i.e. as an example not getting much time at present, what if Middle East investment funding gets pulled from the US). Stuff not looked at can surprise you.
Obviously, it also now a good time to review business continuity plans.
