1. Prioritizing trust
The old way: Adversarial acquisition relationships, with little or no follow-up after acquisition. Human labor doing due diligence research, risk modeling, and trying to predict ecosystem failure, which is operationally expensive.

The new way: Transfer due diligence and risk assessment to automation, and re-use the labor to embrace and strengthen relationships with the ecosystem. When verification shows gaps, give them a chance to do better, and show them you’ll be a part of their journey.

2. Automating supplier vetting
The old way: Human-powered due diligence on the critical suppliers.

The new way: Automated due diligence on all suppliers, transparently. Leveraging data to your suppliers better than they know themselves.

3. Verifying digital products with automation
The old way: Point-in-time IT risk questionnaires, adversarial relationships.

The new way: Automated software analysis + ongoing monitoring with care-focused risk tolerances.

4. Building product-level n-tier supply chain resilience
The old way: Asking suppliers whether they are managing their n-tier third-party supply chain risks, and getting mad when their third-party risks result in harm to your care delivery.

The new way: Automate n-tier supply chain risk assessment and transparently share the results with your suppliers.

5. Embracing ecosystem partners
The old way: Adversarial acquisition relationships, with little or no follow-up after acquisition. Human labor doing due diligence research, risk modeling, and trying to predict ecosystem failure, which is operationally expensive.

The new way: Start from a position of trust. Trust the intentions of suppliers and their products. Assume good intent. Transfer the labor of due diligence and risk assessment to automation, and re-use the labor to embrace and strengthen relationships with the ecosystem. When verification shows gaps, give them a chance to do better, and show them you’ll be a part of their journey.
