Learn from N-SIDE’s proven crisis and risk management methodA 4-step process

1. Identify risks and causes

The first step is to gain clarity and a full understanding of the crisis.

The investigation starts by:

Quantifying risks: Determine the number of patients affected and which treatments are impacted.
Locating risks: Pinpoint affected sites and countries.
Timing risks: Establish when the impact will start and end.

This helps us pinpoint the root causes of the issue.

<strong><b>1. </b>Identify risks and causes</strong>

2. Develop risk mitigation ideas

Many strategies exist to mitigate risks, and slowing down recruitment should only be a last resort! Our team focuses on proposing realistic and effective solutions, prioritized based on their feasibility and their direct impact on patients.

3. Simulate & assess impact

Over-mitigating risks can lead to unnecessary trial delays or avoidable costs. This is why we meticulously simulate each mitigation idea. We then quantify its impact on the risk to identify the most effective and balanced risk mitigation plan. This ensures optimal outcomes without unintended consequences.

4. Implement resilient solutions

We ensure the chosen risk mitigation plan not only effectively resolves the immediate risk but also has no negative impact on patients or trial timelines. Our goal is to implement solutions that make your supply chain strategy inherently resilient to future risks, building long-term stability.
