CIPS Risk Index Score

CIPS RISKINDEX

Following five straight quarters of declines,the Global Risk Index (GRI) score improved slightly,signalling a moderation in cross-border supplychain risks. However, potentially disruptive supplychain risks lurk below the surface.

The improvement in the GRI score was drivenboth by rating changes and by a methodologyenhancement involving a rebasing of exportweights to reflect shifts in the global economy.

CIPS RISK INDEX (CRI)KEY POINTS Q1 2017

Near-term risks to global supply chains run thegamut from global trade policy shifts, to geopoliticalrisks in North Korea, to systemic uncertainties suchas the Brexit negotiation outcomes.

Six countries were downgraded in Q1in terms of our operational risk assessments, whilefour were upgraded; momentum effects ofup/downgrades from Q4 2016 plus the rebasing,also impacted GRI.

First improvement in six quarters

Global operational risk improved in Q1 2017, in line withupbeat macro data, as our new and improved GRI fell slightlyto 81.90 from 82.64 in Q4 2016.

Global operational risk took a step back in the first three months of 2017,easing for the first time after five quarters of deterioration. However, Dun &Bradstreet’s GRI score remains near its record high, and the slightimprovement should not mask risks below the surface.

CIPS Successstories

I started working as a graduate with CIPS in 2011 and was fortunate enough to work with various departments, where I gained a good understanding of the CIPS culture.

During a 6 week placement in the Dubai office providing programme management support for Corporate Award I fell in love with the Middle East and applied for a position in the office.

I have now been with CIPS MENA for five years and have worked in various roles. I am currently in Business Development, managing some of the largest strategic accounts and have the opportunity to travel all around the region meeting some really interesting customers.

Athia KhalilBusiness DevelopmentCIPS MENA

I joined the company graduate scheme in 2011. At the end of that I secured a position as CIPS Foundation Officer for 12 months, and then joined the Marketing team as Digital Content Executive.

Following a Diploma in Digital Marketing funded by CIPS I have been promoted to Digital Content Manager.

CIPS is a great place to work if you want the opportunity to have different work experience and keep things interesting.
