Our lives and companies depend on inputs that come from around the world. Everything we purchase has come from somewhere else, often hundreds of inputs and connections are made to bring goods to us. These systems can make for a solid, formidable structure or a fragile, easily disrupted structure depending on many variables relating to the inputs.  System mapping allows us to visually explore these relationships. A systems map will help provide insight into the benefits and risks to our business. A well-done systems map creates an opportunity to develop flexible and adaptive circular and sustainable solutions and business models.  Your company's supply chain is a long network of resources and connections that provide products to your company so it can conduct its business. A supply chain includes the materials used to make a product, how and where that product is manufactured, and how it will finally be distributed to customers.
