Welcome back to Millennium Live, the official podcast of the Millennium Alliance. We’re wrapping up the year with another must listen episode with Colby Potter, Lead Content Analyst at Sayari. Colby joined us previously to break down the evolving landscape of global compliance and the rising urgency of tackling forced labor risks in global supply chains. He joins us again to dive into his latest analysis on typological risk, a trend that’s rapidly transforming how governments, regulators, and compliance teams identify and assess exposure across their supply chains and counterparties. His report identifies a shift away from traditional name-based designations and moving toward a broader, more complex view of risk grounded not in who an entity is, but how it behaves, who it’s connected to, and what patterns it fits. Colby sheds light on sanctions and export controls, emerging risk frameworks, and Sayari's solution and data on the shift to typological risk.Hosted on Ausha.
