I recently had the pleasure of attending the CSCMP South Florida Roundtable’s panel on Florida’s evolving regulatory landscape. Kudos to Megan Smith, VP of Programs, and the organizing team for bringing Fernando Valle and Amanda Fraser from Colodny Fass to share insights on how legislation, insurance, and local regulations impact logistics operations.

One insight from Fernando stuck with me:

“A trap that business owners fall into is they think of risk as being static. Risk changes over time. Your exposure changes over time.”

Sound familiar?

This is exactly what we see with Bestshoring decisions. Companies often treat their operating model as a “set it and forget it” proposition. But workforce dynamics shift. Technology capabilities evolve. Customer expectations change. What worked three years ago may be creating hidden vulnerabilities today.

Fernando’s follow-up advice?

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Do it the right way the first time.”

That’s why periodic readiness assessments matter, whether you’re evaluating regulatory compliance or your global service center strategy. The companies that win aren’t reacting to problems. They’re anticipating them.

Thanks again to CSCMP South Florida Roundtable for creating space for these conversations. If you’re a logistics leader in South Florida, this is a group worth joining.
