After sharing his insights into supply risk management, Dr. Uwe Schulte gave a great example of when the best course of action to protect his company from a supply risk was … to do nothing. Of course, he stressed that choosing to do nothing and doing nothing by default are two different things.

Has anyone else ever reached the same conclusion about a particular risk and consciously chosen to do nothing? Care to share your story and results (anonymously if you must) in the Comments?
