Are your force majeure clauses robust enough to handle ambiguous "gray zone" conflicts?
Is your intelligence function seen as a strategic partner or just a provider of reports?
Does your procurement team understand the geopolitical risks embedded several tiers down your supply chain?
Does your supply chain team see the same geopolitical risks as your strategy team?
How quickly can you translate a sudden geopolitical event into its specific impact on your Q4 earnings forecast?
Is your team spending more time reporting on what just happened than preparing for what might happen next?
When your intelligence team flags a future geopolitical risk, is there a clear process for integrating it into operational planning?
How confident are you that your current geopolitical monitoring isn't just reacting to yesterday's headlines?
Can your Head of Sourcing easily see how tensions in the South China Sea might impact their component availability in six months?
Is your leadership team consistently asking "What's next?" or are they primarily focused on "What just happened?"
Do different departments in your company operate with conflicting assumptions about the stability of a key market?
How much time does your team waste manually connecting geopolitical analysis to specific business functions?
Is your company treating geopolitical risk as a continuous reality or an annual reporting exercise?

What if...

Randomize
...your Latin America strategy mistakes a fundamental geopolitical shift for just another wave of economic volatility?
Latin America is known for economic fluctuations. The real danger lies in failing to distinguish this cyclical noise from deeper, structural geopolitical changes, such as evolving alliances or resource nationalism.
Latin America
Raw materials
Trade war
...a routine China-Philippines confrontation in the South China Sea escalates beyond the 'gray zone'?
Frequent run-ins between Chinese vessels and Philippine coast guard or civilian boats seem like manageable friction. However, each incident carries a significant risk of miscalculation or unintended escalation.
China
South China Sea
South East Asia
...persistent hybrid actions in the Baltic Sea disrupt your critical data or energy infrastructure?
"Gray zone" incidents like GPS spoofing, undersea cable damage, or cyber-attacks on ports are increasing in the Baltic Sea. While not acts of war, these disruptions create operational uncertainty and can lead to significant costs, delays, and uninsured losses.
Baltic Sea
Business Continuity
Europe
...the current Israel-Iran tensions escalate into a direct, regional war?
While direct sustained war has been avoided so far, a miscalculation or deliberate escalation could trigger a wider regional war. Such a conflict would severely disrupt global energy markets via the Strait of Hormuz, impact international trade routes, and potentially draw in major global powers, creating profound instability far beyond the Middle East.
Middle East
Energy commodities
Red Sea
...North Korean provocations escalate, disrupting South Korea's economy and key export industries?
While major conflict remains unlikely, a cycle of North Korean missile tests, border incidents, or cyberattacks is increasing regional instability. A significant escalation could disrupt manufacturing, impact critical semiconductor and electronics supply chains originating in South Korea, and trigger severe financial market volatility.

...escalating U.S.-China tensions trigger unpredictable regulatory crackdowns on Western companies operating inside China?
Beyond tariffs and export controls, heightened tensions could lead Beijing to use domestic regulations—from cybersecurity audits and tax probes to licensing delays—as leverage. This creates significant operational uncertainty and potential financial risks for multinational companies with deep investments and manufacturing footprints within China, forcing difficult decisions about market presence.
Trade war
the United States
China
...a regional disruption or deliberate blockade effectively shuts down the Malacca Strait?
The Malacca Strait is one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints, essential for global trade between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Its closure would force massive rerouting of shipping, dramatically increasing voyage times, fuel costs, and insurance premiums, triggering severe disruptions across global supply chains.
South East Asia
Supply Chain Management
...the heightened U.S. military posturing near Venezuela triggers an accidental clash or miscalculation?
Current U.S. naval deployments near Venezuela aim to increase pressure, not signal imminent invasion. However, this close military proximity, combined with hardline rhetoric, significantly raises the risk of an unintended confrontation or miscalculation that could rapidly escalate into a wider regional crisis.
Latin America
the United States
...Russia's hybrid campaign in Europe transitions from intelligence gathering to targeted disruption of your critical infrastructure?
Current Russian activities like drone surveillance and GNSS jamming may be intelligence preparation. The next phase could involve targeted kinetic sabotage or disruptive cyberattacks against operational technology (OT), directly impacting European supply chains, energy grids, or manufacturing operations, moving beyond mere inconvenience to cause significant physical disruption.
Europe
Russia
...the war in Ukraine remains a prolonged war of attrition through 2026?
A continued stalemate, even without major escalation, creates persistent instability in Eastern Europe. This prolongs uncertainty over energy security, strains European supply chains reliant on Black Sea trade, and potentially erodes investor confidence, impacting long-term capital investment decisions across the continent.
Europe
Russia
Supply Chain Management
...Russia orchestrates a limited, ambiguous attack designed specifically to test NATO's Article 5 cohesion?
This isn't a full invasion, but a calculated probe—perhaps a hybrid attack, a cyber-physical event, or a limited kinetic incident in a border region like the Suwalki Gap. The goal would be to create confusion, sow division among allies about whether Article 5 applies, and test NATO's speed and unity of response, creating profound strategic uncertainty.
Europe
Russia
Business Continuity
...China imposes a de facto quarantine or embargo on Taiwan, restricting air and sea traffic?
An escalation beyond current gray zone pressure could involve China using coast guard or maritime militia to interdict commercial traffic, aiming to isolate Taiwan economically. This would impact on critical semiconductor exports, disrupt global supply chains for electronics, and potentially trigger international sanctions.
China
Manufacturing
South East Asia
Taiwan Strait
...growing Russian and Chinese influence in Latin America shifts regional alignments, impacting your market access or supply chain stability?
Increased economic ties and political engagement by Russia and China could alter trade dynamics, regulatory environments, and security relationships in Latin America. This could create new challenges for Western companies, potentially impacting market access, increasing competition, or creating instability in supply chains previously considered secure.
China
Supply Chain Management
Latin America
Russia
...escalating tensions significantly disrupt maritime logistics through the South China Sea?
The South China Sea is a vital artery for global trade, with trillions of dollars in goods transiting its waters annually. Increased naval friction, gray zone incidents, or deliberate restrictions could severely impede commercial shipping, forcing costly rerouting, creating major delays, and triggering widespread disruption across international supply chains.
South China Sea
Supply Chain Management
Procurement
...your planned market entry into Syria is suddenly disrupted by renewed conflict or shifting sanctions?
Syria remains unstable due to ongoing conflict, complex international sanctions, and a fragmented political landscape. Any market entry faces significant risks of operational disruption, reputational damage, and severe legal or financial penalties if sanctions regimes shift or active fighting resumes in key areas.
Middle East
Compliance
...a regional escalation leads to Russia attempting to restrict transit through the Danish Straits?
The Danish Straits are NATO's maritime gateway to the Baltic Sea and Russia's primary exit. Any attempt to restrict commercial or military passage, even through hybrid means, would represent a major escalation, severely disrupting regional trade.
