Webinar: The 3Ds: decarbonisation, digitalisation and de-globalisation Time for systemic innovation

  • January 24, 2024
  • 10am - 11am (Paris time)
  • Online
  • Participation is free, registration compulsory

Over the past decade, the role of procurement has continued to evolve; from an innovation standpoint, it moved from enabling product development, to becoming a key driver of innovation within organisations.

Innovation in procurement is not limited to developing products with existing suppliers. It involves leveraging capabilities from both existing and new suppliers and partners to solve current and future business problems. While procurement teams have made progress in this area, new challenges such as decarbonisation, the digitalisation of industries, and de-globalisation require they further develop their innovation capabilities.

These trends require systemic innovation capabilities, which I address by suggesting a few recommendations that professionals can use to understand and contribute to deliver system-level changes.

Triple A.I. supply chains

  • September 14, 2023
  • 10am - 11am
  • Online
  • Participation is free of charge; registration is mandatory.

A Stanford professor once described high performing supply chains as Agile, Adaptative and Aligned. Agile refers to the ability of supply chains to face daily uncertainties and variations, adaptability refers to the ability to adjust to more significant changes over time; and aligned refers to the quality of the relationships with partners along the chain that contribute to delivering sustainable performance.  

While the triple A framework is as relevant as ever for supply chain leaders.  We put forward, in an article published in The European Business Review the concept of Triple A.I. supply chains. We suggest that Agile, Adaptative and Aligned needs to be complemented by Informed, Interconnected and Intelligent supply chains. In a nutshell, this means that information gathered along and beyond the supply chain are combined into short, mid, and long-term insights and scenarios that facilitate human decisions. 

During the webinar we will discuss and illustrate how Triple A.I. supply chains can be implemented.
