## Resource

The collapse of traditional, static survey models at scale creates a systemic visibility gap that transforms multi-tier supply chain dependencies into boardroom-level risks. In this Aravo-sponsored episode, Carey Smith, former CIO and Chief Technology Innovation Officer of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota and President and CIO of XcelerateHealth, outlines how enterprises must transition to continuous, AI-enabled monitoring to achieve deterministic explainability in risk scoring. The discussion focuses on shifting from simple risk detection to operational resilience by automating remediation playbooks and segmenting vendor scrutiny based on business materiality Want to share your AI adoption story with executive peers?
