820: Managing Risk and Relationships in Semiconductor Sourcing W/ Graham Scott

"It's not going to take much to push us back into a shortage market where demand would exceed supply." - Graham Scott, Vice President, Global Procurement at Jabil

Semiconductor volatility is grabbing headlines again, but what's really happening beneath the surface for organizations buying and managing critical components?

Graham Scott, Vice President of Global Procurement at Jabil, knows this landscape inside and out. In this episode, Graham speaks with Philip Ideson about the biggest pressures facing procurement teams, from AI-driven shifts in global supply, to the real cost of building resilient risk-management strategies.

Graham discusses how transparency and agility will set the winners apart, and why procurement teams must stay close to both operational details and C-suite priorities. For procurement teams steering spend, pushing for greater optionality or navigating complex geopolitical headwinds, Graham shares strategies they can use right now.

Graham also covers:

  • Assessing hidden risks behind "healthy" inventory levels
  • Rethinking supplier relationships to secure mission-critical data
  • Calculating the tradeoffs and ROI of dual sourcing
  • Navigating the impact of AI and geopolitics on future investment
